Ilha Verde hill

Ilha Verde hill was once an island located to the northwest of the Macau Peninsula. The Portuguese later connected it to the peninsula by land reclamation. In the early 17th century, the Portuguese church constructed buildings on Ilha Verde hill, including villas in Southern European style that are still preserved today. In 1865, taking advantage of the hill's strategic location, the Portuguese built military installations such as fortifications, artillery batteries, and outposts.^[2]
