(Chinese: 澳門歷史城區;
Portuguese:
Centro Histórico de Macau), is a collection of over twenty locations that witness the unique assimilation and co-existence of ,Chinese and Portuguese cultures in Macau, a former
Portuguese colony. It represents the architectural legacies of the city's cultural heritage, including monuments such as urban squares, streetscapes, churches and temples.
In
2005 the
Historic Centre of Macau was inscribed on the
UNESCO World Heritage List, making it
the 31st designated World Heritage site in
China. It was described by
UNESCO as: "with its historic street, residential, religious and public Portuguese and Chinese buildings, the historic centre of
Macao provides a unique testimony to the meeting of aesthetic, cultural, architectural and technological influences from
East and West," and "
...it bears witness to one of the earliest and longest-lasting encounters between China and the
West, based on the vibrancy of international trade."[1]
