Guia Fortress is an ancient fortress on Guia Hill, the highest hill in Macau. From here you have a great view of the old town of Macau. The Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the historic center of Macau.
Here is also the 1865 built "Farol da Guia", the first modern lighthouse on the Chinese coast.

The fortress (with lighthouse) offers a beautiful panoramic view of the city. You also learn a lot about the tropical storms that occur here and how people dealt with them in the past.

Quoting directly from the information plaque at the fortress:
Built between 1622 and 1638, this fortress was, together with Mount Fortress, crucial in the protection of the city from the tentative Dutch invasion of 1622. Inside the fortress stands Guia Chapel, built around 1622 and Guia Lighthouse built in 1865, the first modern lighthouse on China's coast, still in operation to this day. Macao takes the reference for its geographic coordinates from this lighthouse. Guia Chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of Guia, noting that "Guia" means "Guidance" in Portuguese.
