Fort Dona Maria II was erected in 1852 to replace the one constructed by the Portuguese in the neighbouring hill of Mong-Ha. Both were maintained to cross their fires and better defend Macau from land attacks or seaborne attacks from the Cacilhas Bay, one of the few places in the east coast of Macau were landings were possible.[1]
The fort, along with its moat and drawbridge, bears an irregular hexagonal shape. It was built of stone and mortar, brick battlements, and granite lintels, probably under the supervision of engineer major António de Azevedo Cuna.[1] Entrance is made via a tunnel which includes traditional shooting slits.[1]

aircrafts during the Pacific War.
The plan of this fortress follows the form of an irregular hexagonal design.
The main access is enabled through a drawbridge, inspired by a typeof access used in medieval times. After crossing the gateway, there is acorridor with avaulted ceiling and reccessed side-walls, where guards would
secure the area while being hidden. Inside the fortress, there used to be agunpowder deposit and a water reservoir.
