Mount Fortress

The mount fortress is just up the hill behind us. You can read the basic history on the pic of the plaque, no point re writing the bible, so to speak. It is still covered with the canons and trolleys made in the 1860’s and quite possibly earlier which look in quite good nick. The views are fantastic but could be better with the aid of a chainsaw. We also had a look through the Macau museum that is now housed inside the fortress.

The walls are 3.7m wide at the base and 2.7m wide at the top.

These 3 images show the changes in the peninsular over time, the most interesting thing is how the coastline has been changed.
