St. Dominic’s Church and St. Lawrence’s Church are two of the famous churches in Macau, they have a lot in common but with several differences.They both are Catholic Church and were built in Baroque style. As you can see,churches characterized by free and sculptural use of the classical orders and dramatic opposition and interpenetration of spaces of the external façade,painting, sculpture and stucco are also dramatically combined as well.Yellow is their main color and they are perfectly bilateral symmetry. On the other hand,St. Lawrence’s Church is bigger.its structure is different and is mainly built in Baroque style therefore its Baroque characteristics are considered more obvious and representative.The central of main façade flanked by the two square towers,The ground plan of the church is in the shape of a Latin cross. However, as the architecture of St. Dominic’s Church was influenced by Macau’s traditional Chinese-styled building, it was then became the mixture of European and local Macanese features church that combined Chinese elements and typical Baroque characteristics in its design.Corinthian columns and louvered windows punctuate the elevation.To conclude, both St. Dominic’s Church and St. Lawrence’s Church included the characteristics of Baroque architecture, but they still have some difference.

It was a very unforgettable travel.The church has yellow and green outside.Decorating of colors makes people comfortable.The church's inside also beautiful.I don't believe in religions, but I attracted by the statue of the Virgin Mary. She has a peaceful expression to make me felt that she will forgive everyone who made mistakes.And the statue of the Virgin Mary is also delicate.

Super gorgeous church that rarely can be found in South Asia. Keep silent and walk slowly to experience the beauty here. Remember to visit earlier since they will dim all the candles after six.
