Description
This is an excellent plan of city and harbor of Macao. It was an important Portuguese trading post and center of activity for Catholic missionaries. The city is shown as several blocks of buildings with the fort adjacent and located at the top of a hill. Also shown are the cannon battery labeled St. Jacques et St. Philippe, the Chinese village (Village Chinois), a Pagoda (Pagode Chinoise), the Jesuit monastery on the small Green Island (I.Verte), and the military battery across the harbor. Macao was earlier an island connected to the mainland by a narrow sand bar that eventually filled in, converting Macao to a peninsula as shown here. Macao was administered by Portugal for 442 years until 1999 and today it is well know for its casinos and enjoys a semi-autonomous relationship with China.
