MM042-Former Chong Sai Pharmacy

Location: Macau
Category: Monuments
Address: Rua das Estalagens, n.º 80

The building was constructed before 1892.  On the July 29th 1893, it opened to the public as the Chong Sai Pharmacy (Chinese-Western Pharmacy), and it served as Dr. Sun Yat-Sen’s clinic. This was one of the earliest western clinics run by Chinese doctors in Macao’s history. In 2011, the Macao S.A.R. Government acquired the building and the Cultural Affairs Bureau started the necessary conservation and revitalization. During the conservation work, remains of old stone structures were discovered under the foundations of the building. In 2016 the building was re-opened to the public, including an exhibition about its history.
