Summary edit

Description On a hill and accessible by escalator just east of the ruins od the Church of St. Paul, Monte Fort was built by the Jesuits between 1617 and 1626 as part of the College of the Mother of God. Barracks and storehouses were designed to allow the fort to survive a two-year siege, but the cannons were fired only once: during the aborted attempt to invade Macau by the Dutch in 1622 [Lonely Planet]
