Santa Sancha Palace, Macau

Santa Sancha Palace is a mansion in Macau. It was built in 1846 as a private residence. Santa Sancha Palace comprises a two-storey building with a symmetrical front. The building is painted red and has white windows. Santa Sancha Palace is surrounded by a European style garden. From the upper floor balcony, one can see Praia do Bom Parto Bay and Taipa Island.

After changing hands a few times, Santa Sancha Palace was eventually acquired by the Portuguese colonial government in 1926, and converted into Governor Artur Tamagnini de Sousa Barbosa's official residence in 1937.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
