CHAPEL OF SAINT FRANCOIS-XAVIER
Chapel containing some of the most precious relics of Christianity in Asia
Built in 1928 on the island of Coloane, it pays homage to the Jesuit François-Xavier, a figure of evangelization in Asia. With its pale yellow façade and azure-blue door, it's a charming building. The inscription "The House of the Lord" in Chinese characters on the pediment adds a unique cultural touch. Inside, a silver reliquary houses a precious relic: a bone from the arm of Francis Xavier, who devoted his life to spreading Christianity in Japan and China.
