Guia Fortress building, chapel, and lighthouse.
The fort and chapel were constructed between 1622 and 1638, after an unsuccessful attempt by the Netherlands to capture Macau from Portugal. The lighthouse was constructed between 1864 and 1865, the first western style lighthouse in east Asia or on the China coast. The lighthouse stands at 91 meters tall, and has a light visible for some 20 miles in clear weather conditions.
The complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Historic Centre of Macau (Wikipedia)
