São Lázaro
Freguesia in China
São Lázaro is the smallest civil parish (Portuguese: freguesia) of Macau, located in the central-east region of the Macau Peninsula. It is surrounded by the parishes of Nossa Senhora de Fátima, Santo António, and Sé.
This parish was one of five in the former Municipality of Macau, one of Macau's two municipalities that were abolished on 31 December 2001 by Law No. 17/2001, following the 1999 transfer of sovereignty over Macau from Portugal to China. While their administrative functions have since been removed, these parishes are still retained nominally.
One-third of its region is covered by Guia Hill (Portuguese: Colina da Guia, 松山 or 東望洋山). 3% of factories in Macau are located in the district.[citation needed]
