Mong-Há Fort

The Bairro Militar is bound by the Rua Francisco Xavier Pereira and the Colina de Mong-Há.

The main fort complex was erected 1849 by Governor Ferreira do Amaral to protect the Macau's northern sector as precaution against a possible Chinese invasion following the First Opium War between Britain and China (1839–1842).

With an overall area of 650 square meters, the brick-walled fort held ten artillery pieces with a firing range capable of reaching the Portas do Cerco.

Along with the barracks for Portuguese troops of African origin (Landins), the fort also included a lookout post and a munitions dump.

The Quartel de Mong-Há occupied an area of 2244 square meters and was built in the style of 1920s Southern European and Modernist architecture.
