Ilha Verde

Ilha Verde was connected to the Macau Peninsula in 1895 when a causeway (now Avenida do Conselheiro Borja) was built.

[1][failed verification] Since then reclamation projects around the island took place and now it is annexed to be a part of Macau Peninsula.

The government built barracks on the hill in 1865 and much of the island was of military area for decades, due to it being close to the Chinese border.

The area used to be a crab-catching place but ceased to be upon the completion of the Ilha Verde cement factory in 1887.

The University of Saint Joseph has its main campus in Ilha Verde.
