Our Lady of Carmel (Nossa Senhora do Carmo)
Built in 1885, this church stands on a hill overlooking the sea, Taipa Village and the restored mansions of Old Taipa Praia.
Protestant Chapel
To serve Macau's small Protestant minority, this chapel is appropriately situated in the cemetery where 150 British and American graves recall the days of the foreign trading and naval presence in Macau. The small stone building is sometimes called the "Morrison Chapel" in honour of Robert Morrison, a missionary who translated the Bible into Cantonese, and the stained glass window contains the art picture of an open Bible with Chinese characters for "In the beginning was the Word." On either side of the altar are plaques recalling James B. Endicott, an American trader who is buried in Hong Kong, and Henry Davies Margesson who drowned off Yokohama when returning home to England after 23 years in China.Chapel of St. Michael
