Fort San Domingo is a fort that has seen ownership from a string of foreign occupiers, from the Spanish, the Dutch, the Japanese, the British and the Australian to the Americans. It is one of the rarest historical sites in Taiwan that has a great mix of foreign culture influences. The entrance on the left, or the “South Gate”, is the only Chinese architectural element, originating from the Qing Dynasty. It is now the main entrance of Fort San Domingo. On the Northeast and Southwest corners, old cannons are on display, and on the central platform, you can see the Guanyin Mountain and riverbank scenery of the Tamsui River. The majestic red-brick fort accentuated by lush green grass is a great place for a cultural holiday trip.
