Igreja de São José
The St Joseph's Church, or Igreja de São José, is a church within the St Joseph's Seminary in Macau. It is located at Rua da Prata.
The church has two brick roofed towers, and was a favourite among artists. St Joseph's Church is laid out in cruciform shape, with a high domed ceiling. The excellent acoustics of the church makes it an ideal venue of concerts, including the annual International Music Festival. There is a door beside the altar that leads to a walled garden with an ancient well and a plant nursery.
