Largo do Senado It is also known as “Fountain” in Chinese and was the
議事亭前地 former official legislative institution in the old days. In
1960s, a bronze statue of Vicente Nicolau de Mesquita
was placed in the square but then being pulled down;
therefore, a fountain was built. The Senado Square is one
of the “Macau Historic Center” sites enlisted in the World
Heritage Site in 2005.

議事亭前地俗稱噴水池，以前是葡萄牙政府及中國
官員的議事機構，故稱議事亭前地。60年代時，
該廣場曾豎立美士基打銅像，後來被拉倒後則建噴
水池取代，這也是議事亭前地別名「噴水池」的由
來。2005年，議事亭前地被列入世界文化遺產名錄
的「澳門歷史城區」一部分。
Portas do Cerco (Border Gate)
關閘
Border Gate was built in 1574 as the entry gate to Chi-
na. After Macau being the colony of Portuguese govern-
ment, the Arc de Triomphe Gate (called the Border Gate)
was built in 1871 and it is well preserved nowadays. In
2004, the new Immigration building was completed to
cope with the huge flow of daily customs clearance to
and from China.

關閘始建於1574年，當時的市民需經過此地方通往
中國內地的關口，直至葡萄牙政府統治後，葡國政
府於1871年建成凱旋門式大閘門（稱關閘拱門），
如今拱門部分被保留下來，2004年新的關閘邊檢大
樓建成，以應付每天通關的龐大人流。
