When the Portuguese arrived in Macau to propagate Christianity, the first priests began building Catholic churches right once. The early churches were built of wood and matting. By the mid-eighteenth century, these constructions had been built with plaster and stone.
Apart from the famed St Paul's Ruins, several churches, squares, and religious buildings built by the Portuguese are still surviving across the city and are part of the UNESCO Macau World Heritage Sites.

A-Ma (Mazu) Temple
Before the city of
Macau was founded, there was A-Ma Temple. The Gate Pavilion, Memorial Arch,
Prayer Hall, Hall of Benevolence, Hall of Guanyin, and Zhengjiao Chanlin are
all part of it. This shrine, which dates from the 15th century, is dedicated to
the mariners' goddess. A poor girl named A-Ma wished to go to Canton but was
turned down by affluent trash owners, according to tradition. A humble
fisherman gave her a ride on his boat. Except for the little boat carrying the
sad girl, everything at sea was destroyed by a massive storm. When they landed
in Macau, the girl was nowhere to be found, but she reappeared as a deity.
