頂石閣砲台, Military fort in Keelung City, Taiwan.
The fort features strategic observation points and defensive walls positioned along the coastline, offering views across the Taiwan Strait.
Built during the Qing Dynasty, this artillery battery later housed the 240-millimeter M1 howitzer capable of launching 163-kilogram shells across 14 miles.
The fort maintains military artifacts and cannons that demonstrate the evolution of Taiwan's coastal defense systems through different historical periods.
The site provides guided weekend tours through multiple levels of fortification structures while educational panels explain the military significance.
Thirteen round holes remain in the fortress walls, originally designed for mounting heavy artillery pieces facing potential naval threats.
