  This church stands in a quiet square at the top of a hill in the parish of São Lourenço, named after the old monastery which stands there: Largo de Santo Agostinho. […]
  The church dates from the arrival of the Portuguese in Macau and by 1623 it was a missionary centre in the heart of the Chinese community of Macau. […] In 1638, Marco d’Avalo wrote that in addition to three parishes — the cathedral parish, the parish of São Lourenço and the parish of Santo António — there was a church called São Lourenço which stood outside the city walls and which in 1633 had been converted into a parish church as the other parishes were “overburdened with the great number of souls in the city under their charge”.

[…] The Portuguese used to live in between the São Lourenço and the coast.

  When I first went to Macau in January 2000, it was a quiet place with low-rise buildings and a few casinos, surrounded by fields and housing blocks. In the old Portuguese areas there were cobbled streets, yellow churches with green shutters, pink and white civic buildings in the Pombaline style. The Portuguese established a trading post at Macau in the mid-16th century; the area was handed back to China in December 1999. I remember sitting by a fountain eating custard tarts, a local delicacy. We went to a small, family-run casino, where bets were a pound or two and elderly women handed out marmalade sandwiches. I had an unprecedented run of luck, which paid for dinner at a restaurant in São Lourenço.
