The yellow facade of St. Dominic's- this church dates back to the 17th century and was built on the site of a chapel and convent built in the 1590s by the Dominic Order. The church was renovated in 1997 and reopened to the public. Now the church had a pretty violent past: in 1644, a military officer who supported the Spanish against the Portuguese who held Macau was murdered at the alter during Mass, just to give one example. Since we were visiting this church just before Good Friday, I refrained from taking pictures inside,as they were preparing for the services.
