St Lawrence's ChurchSt Lawrence's Church (9 November, 2007)


St Lawrence's Church, or Igreja de São Lourenço, is one of the most impressive churches in Macau. Nevertheless it had a humble beginning way back in the 1560's, when it was just a wooden structure. The brick building was first built in 1801-3, and was renovated throughout the 19th century. St Lawrence's Church as twin towers with Chinese tile roof. The interior of the church is magnificently ornamented, with ceiling painted turquoise, white and gold beams, and exquisite chandeliars. A lovely garden with palm trees surround the church building.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
