頂石閣砲台

Ding Shi Ge Battery is a military fort in Keelung with fortification walls and observation points positioned along the coastline. The site features multiple levels of defensive structures that offer views across the Taiwan Strait.

The battery was built during the Qing Dynasty and later equipped with modern artillery pieces. It reflects the shift from traditional to contemporary military defense systems during that era.

The fort displays cannons and artifacts from different periods that show how Taiwan's coastal defense evolved over time. Visitors can see these items and understand the role they played in protecting the region.

The site is best explored on foot, with information panels explaining military significance and helping visitors understand the structures. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended as there are multiple levels and narrow passages to navigate.

Thirteen round holes puncture the fortress walls, originally designed to mount heavy artillery pieces. These openings reveal the specialized engineering solutions created for coastal defense.
