Rua da Casa em Ruínas

Rua da Casa em Ruínas (also known as: Rua Nova da Casa em Ruínas or simply Casa em Ruínas; Portuguese: Travessa do Armazém Velho) is a street located in the southwestern part of São Lourenço Parish on the Macau Peninsula. Its northeastern end starts from Rua do Mercado de Frutas, intersects with Beco das Rosas and Beco da Tranquilidade along the way, and extends southwest to Rua da Erva until it connects with Beco da Pagode. The street is approximately 100 meters long and about 5 meters wide.

The "Casa em Ruínas" (House in Ruins) was originally a building called "Lan Gui Lou" (Orchid and Osmanthus Building), but it became known as "Casa em Ruínas" after being damaged by fire and left in ruins. This name was later adopted by the Portuguese Macau authorities as the official street name. During World War II, the area was a market for second-hand goods and stalls, and by the mid-to-late 20th century, it had become a hub for miscellaneous goods shops.
