Moorish Barracks

The typhoon signal station on the roof of the Port Authority Building is located on a hillside near the entrance to the port of Makaku. Fishermen, boats and residents are informed of the wind signal. With the development of the Port Authority, the Port Authority Building is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the Port Authority of Macau. The Port Authority's office has been moved to the Harbour Building in Lam Maotang, and the important role of the Port Authority Building has gradually faded

after A-Ma Temple by foot using the Macau Heritage Trial of Historic Centre of Macau map downloaded from the web as guide. A piece of advice for those with weak leg and poor stamina, it was a long ascend to the hill road to the entrance of Moorish Barracks. We arrived at this heritage which was built in 1874 from the back of the building. From the web literature, the building housed 200 soldiers recruited from Goa to help support Macau's police force. The Quartel dos Mouros is now the head office of the Macau Port Authority. Stll standing tall the Moorish Barracks is majestic for its age.

The building of the Port Authority is particularly beautiful, a little bit of the Arab world, very beautiful, it seems to be the kind of building that is a thousand and one nights. Among the many beautiful buildings in Macau, the style is unique!

Mage Temple came out and walked along the side Mage inclined lane for 2,200 meters to the Port Authority Building. Built in 1874, it was a barracks garrisoned by Moorish soldiers from India to Australia. Its greatest feature is that the exterior walls, pillars and windows are Muslim domes. The whole corridor is surrounded by Islamic pointed arches, with flowery fences. It has an Arab architectural style. Portuguese architecture is everywhere, but the Arab style is unique.

It was an accident to find the Port Authority building. Walking back from the Mage Temple and wanting to go back to Dasanba, I walked along the path beside the Mage Temple. As a result, I soon saw a brightly colored building with a more classical style on the slope. So climbed a few meters high slope, erected in front of the building a "Macau World Heritage" related introduction, this part of the official content of Baidu can be your own. As the building is still a government office space, it can only be exterior but not interior. Plus the building was built on the hillside, surrounded by trees and cars, so it was impossible to get a panoramic view. Of course, it's still possible to go up to the front of the fence and take pictures of people and scenery, and the colours are more photographic.

Several times to the Mage Temple, because they are well-behaved along the main road, we have not found this historical building. The building is located at the edge of Mage Hill, the Cabinet of the Macao Special Administrative Region. It was found accidentally. It has to go up a slope. Because it is still a government office space, it is forbidden to enter the temple. It can only take pictures at the foot of the hill and on the slope. If you want to enter it again, there will be some. The security guards came out to stop it, but they did not go up. The effect of the photographs was not very good. The buildings could not be photographed completely. Although Macao has many historic buildings, the Port Authority Building is definitely worth taking time to look at alone, and it is not far from the Mage Temple. The roadside signs will be guided.

The Port Authority building is located on the edge of Ma Pavilion Mountain and is a Gothic building with Arabic color.
