I was very impressed with the inside of the chapel, as it contained some very old frescos uncovered during restoration work in 1996. The frescos consisted of plant and architectural column motifs, with the images drawn as mainly black lines with some orange colouring. There were also images on the ceiling. An information board said the frescos contained Western and Chinese themes. Unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed to take photographs in the chapel (why?), so you must take my word for it.</p><p id="8b7c">Two gravestones were on the floor inside the door from 1687 to 1729.</p><figure id="fac1"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/1*9HlCKu4T1Oe6Y5AnhUWZqQ.jpeg"><figcaption><b>Photo by Author — Guia Chapel and lighthouse — the Fortaleza da Guia 東望洋炮台 (松山炮台), Macau (Macao)</b></figcaption></figure><figure id="60a3"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/1*NTBxHTBRbJXZx95f5iWLKw.jpeg"><figcaption><b>Photo by Author — the lighthouse — Fortaleza da Guia 東望洋炮台 (松山炮台), Macau (Macao)</b></figcaption></figure><figure id="ab78"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/1*wZKg_vD2VZrN0aqDeokWCQ.jpeg"><figcaption><b>Photo by Author — a tourist feeding the doves — Fortaleza da Guia 東望洋炮台 (松山炮台), Macau (Macao)</b></figcaption></figure><figure id="0e22"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/1*XRtlPI5fhe7DknZmCQl5nA.jpeg"><figcaption><b>Photo by Author — a canon — Fortaleza da Guia 東望洋炮台 (松山炮台), Macau (Macao)</b></figcaption></figure><figure id="50d5"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/1*M9OBGSRTLL0hOtU67VbyfQ.jpeg"><figcaption><b>Photo by Author — the view from a lighthouse window — Fortaleza da

The fort had great views of Macau (Macao) and a fascinating history. The chapel was impressive, and it was great to visit something so old. Climbing the lighthouse was worth the effort as I got some spectacular views of Macau (Macao).</p><p id="5806"><b>Foursquare:</b> <a href="http://4sq.com/gREDbO">Fortaleza da Guia 東望洋炮台 (松山炮台)</a></p><div id="85c5" class="link-block">
