 | A-Ma Temple : Macau's name is derived from A-Ma-Gau or Place of A-Ma and this temple dedicated to the seafarers' goddess dates from the early 16th century. According to legend, A-Ma, a poor girl looking for passage to Canton, was refused by the wealthy junk owners but a lowly fisherman took her on board. A storm blew up and wrecked all but the boat carrying the girl. On arrival in Macau she vanished, to reappear as a goddess, on the spot where the fishermen built her temple. | | read more>> | | | |  | Macau Maritime Museum : The proposal to create a Maritime Museum in Macau was launched in 1986 by Commander Ant¨®nio Martins Soares who, at that time, was the Macau Harbor Master. | | read more>> | | | |  | Ruins of St. Paul's : All that remains of the greatest of Macau's churches is its magnificent stone facade and grand staircase.
