The St. Joseph's Seminary and Church is a brilliant exhibit of the religious past of Macau. Once known for its missionary work, this structure located in São Lourenço is now considered to be one of the most important historic monuments in Macau. It is the only example of Baroque style architecture in China.
The church houses a religious relic of utmost importance – a piece of bone from the arm of St. Francis. The church with its broken arch, curved pediments, ornamental altars and solomonic columns stands as a sharp contrast to the seminary which is a simple, neo-classical compound with an interior cloister garden. St. Joseph's Church is open to the visitors, while the seminary is not open to the public.
