Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady

The Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady (Igreja da Sé, 澳門主教座堂) is the current cathedral of the Diocese of Macau.

Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady

It started as a small wooden chapel in the early 17th century, being elevated to Cathedral status in 1623 (replacing St Lazarus Church as the cathedral of the Diocese).

Se Cathedral

In 1850, the cathedral was rebuilt in stone and consecrated by the then Bishop of Macau, Jerónimo José da Mata. It was nearly destroyed by a typhoon some 1874.
