Garden of the Surrounding of Monte Fort — Attraction in Santo António

Historical Macau is on full display at Mount Fortress (Fortaleza), and the Ruins of St. Paul. These two sites were the epicenter of religious and political/military power in Portugal's control of Macau.

The fort is in fine condition and there is a nice view of the city from the top.

The Macau Historical Museum is under the fort, and it excellent as well.

The cathedral ruins are the symbol of Macau and the stone monumental facade is still impressive and imposing.

Everything is free except entrance to the Museum.

Ample shopping and street food opportunities are spread out at the foot...

It just takes 5 minute walk from the Ruins of St. Paul's. Since the hill is actually located in the centre of the Macau peninsula, this garden gives us a great view toward all directions. You can see the Guia Lighthouse as well as the old city district...
