Our lady of Penha is a simple church situated on a hill at the Southern part of Macau Peninsula. This church use to be a place of pilgrimage for sailors and i suppose it doesn't really have a interesting history therefore it wasn't listed as one of the UNESCO site. If you are visiting Ah Ma Temple at Barra Square... More

A brilliant cityscape of Macao, and well worth a visit. The church itself is uninteresting and nothing special, but the views over the emerging city are fabulous. Nearby is another viewpoint over to the harbour area and back towards the Sofitel Ponte 16. Yes it is a short walk up a small hill, and it can be warm and humid,... More

One of the few churches in this area not included within the UNESCO World Heritage designation for the Historic Centre of Macu, a visit to Our Lady of Penha is potentially worth making, not so much to see the actual church but to take advantage of the impressive views which can be had here. Our Lady of Penha has a... More

The Penha Church lies on a top of a hill, so you have to walk a LOT before arriving,which, with Macau's humid weather might be a bit tiring. But once there, you feel surrounded by the ambiance, specially if you choose a clowdy day to visit it. The inside of the church itself is not bad, but my favourite area... More

We decided to go to the chapel after visiting Ah-Ma Temple. Our biggest regret was not considering taking a cab to the chapel, thinking that it's just nearby. The tiring uphill walk probably took us approximately 15 minutes to reach the chapel. It's a simple church, however, it has a good view of Macau. Save some money from going to... More
