MM041-Sections of the Old City Walls (near Estrada de S. Francisco, near Estrada do Visconde de S. Januário, near Chapel of Our Lady of Penha )

In the past, the city walls were significant constructions for the military defence of Macao and were of great importance to the security of the city for a long period of time. Along with the section on the west of the Ruins of St. Paul’s, there are three other sections of the remains of the old city walls, namely the ones near Estrada de S. Francisco, Estrada do Visconde de S. Januário and the Chapel of Our Lady of Penha, which are relatively well preserved remains of the old city Walls of  Macao.
