Barra Square Macau

Coast road from Macao-Taipa Bridge, to São Tiago da Barra Fortress and recently all the way to Barra Square of A-Ma Temple.

This area extends along the edge of the Praia Grande to Praia do Bom Parto, including Ave. Doutor Mario Soares, Ave. Praia Grande and Ave. de Republica.

Starting in the 19th century, the Portuguese constructed many European-style buildings in this area and, with the banyans along the shore, it became one of the most beautiful shorelines in Southeast Asia, attracting many tourists.

Quite a number of movie companies have come to this area in the past to film against this beautiful backdrop. More land has been reclaimed and two artificial lakes have been built due to recent land-reclamation projects.
