context_page_description: Santo António is a civil parish in the western portion of the Macau Peninsula of Macau. It has the highest population density in Macau.
  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.
  It is north of the parish of Sé, south of Nossa Senhora de Fátima parish, west of São Lázaro parish, and east of the Inner Harbor.

  Patane Library (Biblioteca do Patane; 沙梨頭圖書館)

  Red Market Library (Biblioteca do Mercado Vermelho; 紅街市圖書館)
  It occupies 260 square metres (2,800 sq ft) in a former post office. It first opened on 24 July 2012.
