Beautiful exotic building belonging to the Port Authority. The building uses a mogol style in the façade and has neo-classical spacial structure inside, in a typical revivalist solution of the 19c. The use of military corps from different parts of the empire was a fashion of the times, for the sake of imperial showoff (the British used Punjabi corps as they don't drink nor smoke, making them a safe asset to have near gunpowder). The original purpose of the building, in 1874, was to function as barracks for a goan military corps. In 1905 it becomes the headquarters of the Port Authority. The outer arcade is free of access, but the inside of the building is accessible only if an exhibition is showing, and even so only within the exhibition area.

The Moorish Barracks is a historic landmark in old Macau. It did not house Moorish soldiers but housed a garrison of soldiers from India. The superstructure stands in contrast with the more contemporary apartment buildings adjacent to and surrounding it. The facade is painted yellow and has and ornate tower.

Can’t access into the building. The facade itself is stunning and can see that it was built to be felt home away from home for the soldiers from Goa.

Moorish Barracks has beautiful architecture except the interior of the building is not accessible.

港务局大楼，原称摩尔兵营（Quartel dos Mouros），俗称水师厂，由一位意大利人卡苏杜（Cassuto）设计，1874年建成，是当时由印度来澳的警察的营地，可驻二百多名官兵。1905年大楼才改为港务局和水警稽查队的办公地点。 2005年时被列入联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产名单中的“澳门历史城区”历史建筑群之一。 虽然这里是世界文化遗产之一,但这里却是不被允许进入大楼内的,所以只能在外部拍拍照,打打卡而已。 由于建筑的正门被档板遮挡了一部份,所以最美的拍照点应该是建筑的右侧了!

バラ広場から媽閣斜巷を5分ほど北上すると坂の途中に石積みの土台と建物が見えてきます。 手前側の階段を上ると建物前の広場に出ますが、改修中のため回廊の中には入れませんでした。 1874年マカオの治安維持のため雇われたムーア人兵士の宿舎として建てられ、現在は海事水務局の事務所として使われています。 建物には三方に回廊があり、パステルイエローの外壁に白い装飾が施された美しい外観です。
