TRAVEL TO PLACES: MACAU THE HOLY HOUSE OF MERCY

My Personal Experience: I went to The Holy House Of Mercy last November 26, 2014, together with my sister and her husband. We were passing through the facade of the building when the green vibrant plants caught my eyes. The walls and windows painted all over by white and darker green gave some vibe of sophistication and simplicity with class.














The Holy House Of Mercy
(Portuguese: Santa Casa da Misericórdia) is a historic white building in Senado Square, Macau, China. Established as a branch of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia, it was built in 1569 on the orders of the Bishop of Macao. It was a medical clinic and several social welfare structures in early Macau. It later serve as an orphanage and refuge for widows of sailors lost at sea. Its part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Historic Centre of Macau."
