Leal Senado Square is the main public square of the town with the Leal Senado Building (1784), a two-storied neoclassical structure. It has a simple front elevation topped with a triangular pediment and granite Doric columns.
Description   
Close by is the Holy House of Mercy, used by a charitable institution, founded in 1569. This two-storied building in neo-classical style has an elaborate front elevation. Close by, there is the Cathedral Square with the Cathedral Church (rebuilt in 1850), and the headquarters of Macao's Diocese. Further north is St. Dominic's Square with St Dominic's Church (founded in 1587) and the old Chinese bazaar area. Here there is the Sam Kai Vui Kun Temple (restored in 1792), which is testimony to Macao's enduring respect to Chinese and Portuguese communities as equals.
