★★★★★a year agoIncredible building which used to be a Portuguese school long time ago. In Casa da Literatura you can find an original poetry book of Camilo Pessanha, with his poems handwritten by himself. They also have Incredible books which can be taken for free. The lady at the entrance is very friendly. I visit everytime I go to Macau.
