Abstract (in English)

Located in southeastern China, some 60km away from Hong-Kong, Macau was a Portuguese administrated territory from 1557 to 1999. For centuries, Macau was the only foreign commercial outpost in China and the gateway to Christian missionaries in far-east Asia. Today the city, including the islands of Taipa and Coloane, constitutes a Special Administrative Region under Chinese sovereignty that retains a unique heritage, both tangible and intangible, of four and a half centuries of cultural coexistance and interchange.
