Macau Cathedral is located at Largo da Se, east of Largo do Senado. The cathedral that currently stands was consecrated in 1850 to replace an earlier cathedral badly damaged in typhoon. It was then completely rebuilt in 1937.

Exterior of Macau Cathedral with some notable stained-glass windows. The cathedral is the focal point for most Christian festivals and holy days in Macau.

The main altar. Behind the altar there is still large space for people. From here you can appreciate the stainglass windows. Right picture: the side chapel dedicated to Christ the King. Behind the modernist altar is a good stainglass representation of the Christ the King.

Many of the major events in the Church's calendar is centered on the Cathedral. During Easter, there is the procession of Our Lord of Passion between the Cathedral and St Augustine. Then there is a solemn parade on Good Friday that goes around Senado Square.

Special candle light Easter Vigil Masses, like in all other churches, are held here.

Services are held everyday, early morning and late afternoon. Sunday services have very good choirs.

The architecture is quite simple, like a basilica plan with no columns in the middle. Very well lit by several clerestory windows and bright skylights on the side altars or chapels.
