St Anthony's Church Macau

This church is located in front of Camoes Gardens and is sometimes known as Fa Vong Tong (church of flowers). The original bamboo church was built 100 years before the stone church (1638) which commemorates the patron saint of Catholic marriages, St. Anthony. Mass is held there on several days of the week and is quite popular among newly weds.

St. Antoni Church, one of the three ancient churches in Macau, was founded in 1565, and after many reconstructions, the original Portuguese weddings were held here, and the church with a sense of history is worth a visit.

The ancient church in Macau is not far from the St. Paul's, a relatively low-key place, the color is not eye-catching, but it is very distinctive, very quiet, sacred, if you have time, you must come here to visit, very beautiful! !

One of the three major churches in Macau, but I just repaired it when I went, I look forward to seeing it next time!

Built between 1558 and 1560, it is one of the three ancient churches in Macau. Most of the early churches in Macau experienced baptism of fire, and St. Antoni is no exception. Today we see the churches of the scale after the 1930s. The Portuguese wedding is held here, and the Chinese call it the "Flower King Hall".

St. Andoni Church, also known as the Flower Palace, is one of the three ancient churches in Macau. It was founded in 1558 and has been baptized and rebuilt by fire for hundreds of years. Church buildings do not follow the consistent symmetrical type, but only adopt a bell tower, simple form, reflecting the neoclassical style, ochre-colored buildings, green doors and windows, showing a more simple, solemn feeling. There is a fountain in front of the church door. I wonder if a fountain has been built in case of unexpected fire in Huawang Hall. On the opposite side of the church is the front of the dove's nest. The reason why St. Andoni Church is also called the Flower Palace is said to have two explanations. One is that Portuguese people hold many weddings here, so Chinese call it the Flower Palace. The other is that St. Andoni is the Catholic God in charge of human marriage, so it is called the Flower Palace.

The Old Andoni Church is located in the west of the Macao Peninsula. It was built in 1558. It is the first chapel in Macau. It covers an area of 1.1 square kilometers. The history of the church is recorded on a stone tablet beside the church gate - "built in 1638, burned in 1809, rebuilt in 1810, burned again in 1874 and rebuilt in 1875]. In front of the church there is a cross engraved in 1636, burned again in 1930 and rebuilt again, but the construction of the outer wall and bell tower is not. It did not take place until 1940. The bell tower of the hall is very grand, and the hall is broad enough to accommodate the surplus people. This church is what we saw when we finished visiting the Macao Museum and planned to take the No. 17 bus to the Fisherman's Wharf. The church is still big and well decorated.
