Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The fort is located on Persimmon Hill near the Arch of St. Paul's. It was built in 1616 and is one of the important historical monuments in Macau. The fort used to be the core of Macau's defense system, and built a defense network of artillery fire covering the east and west coasts. The fort is an irregular quadrilateral as a whole, and the four corners become bastions. The wall is about 9 meters high, and more than 30 cannons can be erected to resist attacks from all directions. Today, the fort has become a tourist attraction. There is a large green space in front of it, where you can overlook the panoramic view of Macau.

Gorgeous Morning Views of Mount FortressRight across from the Ruins of St. Paul is Mount Fortress and the surrounding park area. Like the ruins, it's better to get there early to avoid the crowds. You can easily spend less than an hour talking a walk around the park and taking pictures of this historic fortress. Keep an eye out for the local cats, as a lot of them have made this historical sight their little playground. The ones I ran into were pretty shy, so I spent a few moments smiling at how cute they were and left them alone. Overall, this was a great visit to start the rest of my day. Check it out if you're a fellow early bird like I am.#travel #macau #macautravel #historicalsights #macao #chinatravelTraveling With Dani17
Grand Lisboa took a group photo, and the view of Fortress Mountain was also good!In fact, this wonderful building, Grand Lisboa, can be seen in many places in Macau. You don’t need to find exactly the same internet celebrity filming location. After arriving at the Ruins of St. Paul’s, climb up the small hill on the right to the Fortress. The viewing angles are also good. • There are toilets and a small shop at the entrance, and there is a Macau Museum on the top platform. Opposite the museum is the city wall surrounded by forts, which are former military lookouts. I remember in Monaco, Salzburg and Mauritius also has a similar Fortress Hill. Anyway, the ancient cities used to have Fortress Hill to watch out and avoid enemy invasion. Now they have become scenic sites or parks. • In addition to the Grand Lisboa Hotel, you can also see a little bit of the Macau Tower. It is a bit tiring when climbing, and it is quite comfortable when the wind blows~marina_nocturne_9447

The Fort with a View!Macau city center: Monte Fort is a wonderful place to get a unique view of Macau. Located just four minutes east of the famous Saint Paul's ruins, this forte offers 360 panoramic views of the entire city. Tip: Get your camera very low down beside a canon to get a unique photographic perspective looking towards the magnificent Grand Lisboa. Tip 2: Zoom your camera in to shoot the colourful apartment buildings. #macauGraeme (高天乐Photographer)7

There is a large fort in Macau, built in 1616. It is one of the oldest western-style fortification groups in China. It was built to protect the church's priests from pirates. It was built by the church and later by the Portuguese. The government used military defensive positions and successfully resisted the Dutch invasion in 1662. Macau has never had a war on the mainland, so the fort has become the core of the Macau defense system. In Macau, although it is a tourist city, it is totally unpopular and buzzing in the mainland tourist cities, and there is no avant-garde in the coastal emerging cities. She is quiet most of the time, just like a lady quietly. Sitting on the shore of the sea, not showing off, not swaying, a sea breeze blowing Buddha, soaring her fragrant fragrance to the Quartet.Tintin_Travel.24
The Macau Fort is a place with a very historical story. Like the Ruins of St. Paul, the Macau Fort is one of the World Heritage Sites. The turret is on the mountain, so if you want to arrive, you have to climb a mountain road. It used to be a very important military center of gravity. It was originally designed to protect the St. Paul's Church (St. Paul's Church), so we walked into the door of the fort. We can first see some sculptures of the Catholic Church. The turret has experienced nearly 400 years of history, and there are many historic and historical buildings on the stage. There are still cannons reserved, and it is worth visiting.Loociwin.6
Climb up the Macau Fort, the commanding heights of the city, you will feel the scenery under the eyes at a glance. The vision is unparalleled, and the colorful architecture of Macau is in sight. This is the best place to overlook the panoramic view of Macau in these old buildings, there will be sex buildings built in the cracks. Not only can you see a lot of landmark Macao buildings, but you can also see the famous Macau Tower in the distance. The most striking of these buildings is the Grand Lisboa Hotel, which is like a feather that spreads around and is one of the 20 most iconic buildings in the world.Loociwin.4
The Macau Fortress is part of the oldest surviving Western-style fort building complex in China. It used to be the centre of military defence facilities. It is now part of the historic city of Macau and is a famous tourist attraction. The large artillery platform of Macau is located on the side of the Dabanba archway. The artillery platform was built during the Ming Shenzong period in 1616. It was owned by the church and was built to protect the St. Paul's clerics. It was used to defend against pirates and then turned into a military facility area. There are giant steel guns around the fort. Although the ancient artillery has lost its military role, it has become an ancient cultural relic and historical witness of Macao. The large turret covers an area of about 10,000 square meters. It was originally the memorial platform of the Jesuit Church of St. Paul (the predecessor of the Ruins of St. Paul), which protected the Jesuit industry in Macao and was later converted into a large castle fort by the Australian and Portuguese governments. The construction of the Grand Fortress lasted 10 years and was completed in 1626.Zhou_Yusi.39

Mount Fortress is built on top of Mount Hill, which rises 52 metres above sea level. The fortress covers an area of approximately 8,000 square metres, in the shape of a trapezoid. The four corners of the fortress protrude to form bulwarks.
This is one of the few attractions in Macau, the environment is very good. Overlooking the whole Macau. Below the Fort is the famous pedestrian street and the St. Paul archway. The Macau Museum and the Fort are together.
🏰 Mount Fortress left me in awe! The historical significance and panoramic views of Macau from the top were breathtaking. A must-visit for history buffs and photography enthusiasts. 📸✨ #MountFortress #MacauExploration
