Templo de A-Ma
The tiered A-Ma Temple (Ma Kok Miu) is one of Macau’s oldest and most striking landmarks, as well as its likely namesake. Built during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) into the slopes on the Barra hill, it blends Confucian, Taoist, Buddhist, and folk influences. Vivid red calligraphy on massive boulders recounts the legend of the sea goddess A-Ma (Tin Hau). A small gate leads to prayer halls, pavilions, and caves carved directly into the hillside.
