Though a formal consent could not be obtained, bountiful presente inay clined the mandarins to wink at the building of wall which runs north cast from the (1622) Maote to the sea near St. Francis. The for tress of St. Paul was (1615) so far advanced that Francis Lopes Carraico came from Goa (1616), and took up his residence within the limite of the Monte, most probably lo the capacity of a military captain (capirde de genin de guerra),

By his industry, and the activity of D. Francis Mascarenhas, à, military captain, Macao was walled and better fortified. To judge from the date engraved ons stone placed above the gateway, the work might have been completed in 1616,"
It appears from the foregoing that the city wall dates from 1626. At that period neither Fortugal por China dreamt of delimitations.
The only structure which speaks from the *olden days, of China's desire to delimit Macao, is the wall raised by the Chinese Government in 1575 across the isthmus connecting, Macao with the Hangshan district, and it is this wall that is called Barrier, and has a gate in the middle.
