Fortaleza de Mong Há, Portuguese fortress on Mong-Há Hill, Macau.
The fortress extends across 650 square meters and includes military structures, ammunition storage facilities, and an observation point at its highest elevation point.
Construction of the fortress started in 1849 under Governor Ferreira do Amaral to protect northern Macau following the First Opium War between Britain and China.
The fortress represents military engineering from the Portuguese colonial period in Asia, with architectural elements found in similar defensive structures across their territories.
The site connects to Jardim Municipal de Mong-Há, established in 1997, which provides public access through maintained pathways and informational signs.
Ten artillery pieces were positioned at the fortress, specifically arranged to target the Portas do Cerco area during its active military service period.
