Located on the corner of Avenida Almirante Lacerda and Avenida Horta e Costa, Red Market is a well known shopping street in Macau.

Built in the 1930s and located at the intersection of Avenida Almirante Lacerda and Avenida Horta e Costa, Red Market is a well known market in Macau. The street owes its name to a range of red buildings constructed by the Portuguese Julio AlbertoBasto in the 20th century. The buildings in the red market are art deco style. Red Market is the only one classified as the architectural site in Macau.

Structure

The building in the red market is about 5 meters high and set up with big windows on the outsider wall. It is a three storey monument building made of red bricks. It lies symmetrically and with a tower in the middle and an anchor tower in each corner. All of these structures are lack of utility and was regarded as the decorative arts style architecture rather than a modern construction.
