Moorish Barracks - Macau

Actually I just passed by and I was still amaze by the structural design of it

The Moorish barracks are a historical landmark in ancient Macau. It housed not Moorish soldiers, but housed a garrison of soldiers from India. The superstructure is in contrast to the more modern apartment buildings next to and around them. The facade is yellow painted and has and decorated tower.

Although it was made by an Italian architect, it was built to fit the military of goa in india. but is just like a building from portugal has been lifted and placed in macau! well worth a visit, and it is on the historic Macau path that is worth practicing.

Beautiful exotic building of the Port Authority. The building uses a Mogolic style in the façade and has neo-classical spatial structure inside, in a typical reivalistic solution of 19c. The use of military corps from various parts of the empire was a fashion of time to have the imperial showoff (the British used Punjabi corps as they do not drink or smoke, so that they have a safe fortune near Gunpowder). The original purpose of the building, in 1874, was to function as a barrack for a Goan military corps. In 1905 it becomes the headquarters of the port authority. The outer arcade is free from access, but the interior of the building is only accessible when an exhibition is shown, and even only within the exhibition area.

Moorish Barracks has a beautiful architecture, except the interior of the building is not accessible.
