KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

Founded in 1587 by three Spanish Dominican priests who originally came from Acapulco in Mexico, this church is also connected to the Brotherhood of Our Lady of the Rosary. It was here that the first Portuguese newspaper was published on Chinese soil, A Abelha da China (“The China Bee”), on 12th September 1822. The bell tower, at the back of the building, has been modified into a small Museum of Sacred Art, now exhibiting a collection of around 300 artifacts.

由聖多明我會（道明會）創建於1587年，是該會在中國的第一所教堂。教堂初時用木板搭建，華人稱之為“板樟廟”。又因教堂供奉玫瑰聖母，故又稱“玫瑰堂”。整座教堂建築富麗堂皇，其巴洛克建築風格的祭壇更是典雅精緻。教堂旁的“聖物寶庫”收藏了三百多件澳門天主教珍貴文物。

Address: St. Dominic’s Square
Opening hours: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
