Narazumono - Ken Takakura (1964) - Calçada Central de S. Lázaro, Macau

Immediately after leaving Largo do Senado, the pair are walking up Calçada Central de S. Lázaro trying to pretend that they don't realise they are being followed by the police. As they get top the top of the steps, next to the Pátio de S. Lázaro, they make a run for it and the cops give chase.

Actually, most of the buildings along this road have been replaced (apart from one in image 4 centre left with an arched lintel over the doorway that looks to still be around) and the general low-rise feel to the area, still maintained one street over on Calçada da Igreja de S. Lázaro, has been lost. Even the stone steps you see below are now quite enclosed these days by comparison.
