It was the site of storehouses, consulates, and government offices. The present view shows the small San Pedro Fort with a flagpole in the center of the beach. To the left is Penha Hill and its church, to the right is the Palacio and the East India Company House. This is the only known port view we have by Shang Tai, an otherwise unrecorded artist.
