Macau’s third-oldest church, St. Lawrence’s was first built using wood in the1560s. In 1801 it was rebuilt in stone and recent renovations have restored it to its original beauty. Set amidst palms, St. Lawrence’s cream and white exterior is strikingly Neo- Classical while the interior boasts gold beams, large chandeliers and impressive stained-glass windows. One of its two bell towers was once used as an ecclesiastical prison.
