Senado Square

[1] It is an elongated triangular shaped square and connects Largo do São Domingos at one end and Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro on the other.

In 1940, a small garden was built at the centre of the square, featuring a bronze statue of Vicente Nicolau de Mesquita standing above a stone pillar pulling out a sword.

The square used to allow traffic and parking lots were present, with increasing number of tourists the entire area was covered by Portuguese pavement in the early 1990s and designated a pedestrian-only zone.

[2][3] Many large events in Macau were hosted on the square, this include festival celebrations, flea markets and performances.

The 2005 100 patacas note issued by the Banco Nacional Ultramarino features the square on its obverse side.
