Monte Fort (Fortaleza do Monte)
Built by the Jesuits, from 1617 to 1626, this was the Portuguese colony of Macau's principal military defence structure and was crucial in successfully holding off the attempted Dutch invasion of Macau in 1622.
It was built on top of Mount Hill, strategically located in the centre of the Macau Peninsula, watching over the city in all directions.
