Fortaleza do Monte
Fortaleza do Monte (Mount Fortress or Monte Forte, officially Fortaleza de Nossa Senhora do Monte de Sao Paulo (Fortress of Our Lady of the Mount of St. Paul)) is the historical military centre of Macau.
The fort was initially built in the 16th century for protecting the properties of Jesuits in Macau. Later it was seized by the Governor, for the defense of Macau.
The tree covered park at the top of the fort has a panoramic view of the mainland area of Macau.
