Located on the left side of the Dasanba archway, the fort was built between 1617 and 1626 and was once part of St. Paul's College and Church. It is said that these ancient guns played an important role in resisting the Dutch invasion in 1622. Today, the big fortress is a popular scenic spot, beside the brick wall ruins stands a bronze statue of Father Matteo Ricci, silently telling the world the story of the famous missionary in Macao. Along the stone steps, you can see several lovely old banyan trees, each with a dense beard. Walking to the corner of the fort, the grass is lush, and the moss is covered with the ancient walls full of wind and rain. Today, the Macao Museum stands on the balcony space, which adds a lot of popularity. The old guns are well preserved and hardly rust! Here you can see most of the scenery of Macau's historic old city. Interestingly, the golden roof of the landmark New Portuguese Hotel is facing two muzzles.

    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.
