Monte Fort (Fortaleza do Monte)

The 17th century Vauban style fortress features old ramparts with huge canons looking out over the city so you enjoy the wonderful 360 degree views of Central Macau. It is a historical military establishment from when Macau was a Portuguese colony.

Do & See

Macau is based on a peninsula with a couple of islands including Taipa and Colôane. Most of the sights including St. Dominic's Church and Basilica of St Paul are packed around a few blocks in the old core around Largo do Senado, a good starting point of your tour.
