## About Senado Square

Senado Square sits opposite the Leal Senado (Municipal Affairs Bureau headquarters). The entire square is paved with small stones in a wave pattern. At its center stands a fountain, and in the pool is a armillary sphere symbolizing Portugal's maritime expeditions. This is Macau's bustling commercial district, and its many souvenir shops attract visitors to shop.
