The Vila de Nossa Senhora are a cluster of old houses located on Coloane. Nearby is the Igreja de Nossa Senhora das Dores (Our Lady of Sorrows Church), the Catholic church that used to use the houses for the treatment of local lepers. The houses had been sitting, rotting and falling apart for many years but were quite distinctive with their verandahs - smaller versions of the houses that make up the Taipa Houses Museum on Taipa. It seems that someone in the Macau Govt took note and they have recently undergone some renovation and decoration (looks like one might now be a cafe, but I'm not sure as I have never been and currently can't go).
They can be seen (pre-renovation) after Da Mata has found the cave-like hideout of the mysterious gang that are after him and Cindy. Although there is another brief shot later in the film which features the view from the church looking up towards the houses (last image).
