28. Statement of Outstanding Universal Value
Criterion (ii): The strategic location of Macao on the Chinese territory, and the special
relationship established between the Chinese and Portuguese authorities favoured an
important interchange of human values in the various fields of culture, sciences,
technology, art and architecture over several centuries.
Criterion (iii): Macao bears a unique testimony to the first and longest-lasting
encounter between the West and China. From the 16th to the 20th centuries, it was
the focal point for traders and missionaries, and the different fields of learning. The
impact of this encounter can be traced in the fusion of different cultures that
characterise the historic core zone of Macao.
Criterion (iv): Macao represents an outstanding example of an architectural ensemble
that illustrates the development of the encounter between the Western and Chinese
civilisations over some four and half centuries, represented in the historical route, with
a series of urban spaces and architectural ensembles, that links the ancient Chinese
port with the Portuguese city.
Criterion (vi): Macao has been associated with the exchange of a variety of cultural,
spiritual, scientific and technical influences between the Western and Chinese
civilisations. These ideas directly motivated the introduction of crucial changes in
China, ultimately ending the era of imperial feudal system and establishing the
modern republic.
