St. Francis Xavier Chapel
At the centre of Coloane Village stands a chapel dedicated to St Francis Xavier. Built in 1928 to enshrine a relic bone of the saint, it has a fine baroque facade painted cream and white. The relic has since been moved but the chapel still attracts pilgrims, especially from Japan. It looks out on a European-Style square paved with stone mosaic and a memorial to a pirate raid. On either side are ancient banyan trees and arcades that shelter sidewalk cafes. Leading from the square is a street of traditional, open-fronted stores and one of Macau's best antique shops,
