Một chút lịch sử
The fort and chapel were built between 1622 and 1638. The fort was already partly built during the unsuccessful Dutch attempt to capture Macau from Portugal, providing a firing position against naval attacks. The lighthouse, constructed between 1864 and 1865, was the first western-style lighthouse in the Far East, southeast Asia, or on the China coast. In 1998, frescoes with both western and Chinese themes were uncovered in the chapel during conservation work.
