Macuau's main square is paved with a wave-pat-terned stone mosaic - created especially by experts from Portugal - which extends from Senado Square to St Paul's. The Senado Square, which has been a civic hub for centuries, is now pedestrianzed and contains an elegant fountain, trees, benches, a cafe and space for public event. At one end of the square is the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau, and opposite is the Holy House of Mercy, dating from the 16th century and oldest Western charity in China.
At the far end of the square stands St. Dominic's Church, a marvellous example of baroque architecture built by the Dominican friars in the 17th century. It is famous for its magnificent altar, decorated wooden ceiling and treasury of statues
