I like the confluence of architectural form and purpose in St. Anthony's. It really blends in well with its charming little square. i could take a quick tour inside and there was a beneficially benevolent aspect to the worshipful atmosphere there.

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. Anthony's is one of three World Heritage attractions along with the Protestant Cemetery and Casa Garden situated at Camoes Square north of the Ruins of St. Paul's. Its one of six churches that are included in Macau World Heritage. Originally built around 1560, St. Anthony's is one of the oldest churches in Macau. It was reconstructed a handful of times over the centuries. The present church dates back to 1930. It is Neo-classical in style and similar to Cathedral in appearance. The interior is subtle, modest with hints of Baroque. Located in a somewhat remote area of the city centre, this is a good attraction for those who like visiting old churches during their travels. For those with limited time, St. Anthony's is a place you may want to save for a second trip to Macau.…

Many who visit the St Paul's ruins would return after clicking snaps at the ruins but unless one could continue further for another 300 metres you would come to this beautiful church which is dedicated to the Miracle saint, St Antony. The church is beside the road which leads up around the square and is possible to come here in a taxi. we were fortunate to be on time for the Holy Mass on a Tuesday@5:30pm and partake in the services which was in the Latin rite in Portuguese. we met few members of the community after mass and they gave us information about moving forward to our next destination. It was indeed a great moment to spend some time in Meditation.…
