Located on what was originally called the Rua de Derieta Carlos Eugenio, the Carmo Fair was first documented in Sept 14, 1886.
Originally built on the water's edge, sand and silt and water effects have made the current location land-locked.
Up until the new market was built, the Old Market was in use until 1970's. Until then, it was a focal point of food sales, mainly harvesting oysters, fish, seafood.

It will not take but a short time to walk around the area and take in the sites. I went and spent ~30 minutes. In nice weather this is just a short walk from Crown Casino.
There are a few dozen random sculptures, and the random views of the bridges leading back to Macau.

Situated on a small hill looking towards the causeway and Coloane Island is Our Lady of Carmel, a neo-classical church built in 1885. The area around the church is serene and beautiful pathways and stairways that will lead you to the Taipa Village. When we were there, which was a Sunday morning, there was a church service going on. Lots of people were there.
