Mountaintop History & City Views : Monte Forte in Macau

#chinatravel
Monte Forte, also known as Fortaleza do Monte, is a 17th-century hilltop fortress built to defend Macau from pirate raids and the Dutch invasion in 1622. With 32 old cannons, thick stone walls, and leafy gardens, it now houses the informative Macau Museum. Climb to the top for one of the best panoramic views—spanning the ruins of St. Paul’s and Macau’s skyline. A compact heritage stop, full of stories.
