Maritime Museum of Macau

At the foot of the ancient Barra Hill, on which the famous A-Ma Temple (Mazu) stands, a modern building with the silhouette of a ship is harmoniously integrated into the surrounding landscape. This is the Maritime Museum of Macau (Museu Marítimo de Macau). Its location is symbolic: it is right here, in this very bay, according to legends, that the goddess-protector of sailors A-Ma landed, and it is from here that the maritime history of the region began.
