Fort Dona Maria II, Portuguese defense fort in Macau, China
Fort Dona Maria II features an irregular hexagonal layout with stone walls, a moat, and a drawbridge at its entrance tunnel.
Built in 1852 under Major António de Azevedo Cuna's supervision, this fort replaced an earlier Portuguese structure on the Mong-Ha hill.
The fort's architecture combines Portuguese military engineering with local construction materials, including granite lintels and brick battlements.
Located near the eastern coast of Macau, the fort offers strategic views over the Cacilhas Bay, a historical landing point.
American aircraft targeted the fort during World War II on January 16, 1943, though the intention behind this attack remains undetermined.
