The Na Tcha Temple is a charming little temple just a stone's throw away from the ruins of the Cathedral of St Paul. Built in 1888, Na Tcha Temple sits right next to Macau's Old City Wall. It is just a simple building with a single hall measuring 8.4 metres long and 4.51 metres wide. The entrance porch is just 5 metres deep.

Na Tcha Temple is painted grey. It has few ornamentation, except for paintings on the walls under the entrance porch. Its flush-gable roof reflects Yingshan style structure. The riedge is 5 metres above ground. The entrance porch reflects Xieshan style structure. On the roof ridge are ornamental ceramic beasts.
