Keelung Fortress, Military fortress in Keelung City, Taiwan.
The fortress spans multiple levels with defensive walls, watchtowers, and artillery positions overlooking Keelung Harbor from its strategic hilltop location.
The fortress, initially constructed during the Qing dynasty in 1841, underwent significant modifications in 1884 following damage during the French invasion of Taiwan.
The fortress complex includes a memorial dedicated to the soldiers of the 1958 Kinmen artillery battle and preserves military artifacts from different periods.
Visitors can reach the fortress through Xiangfeng Street in Zhongzheng District, with the site remaining open throughout the year for historical tours.
The T-shaped headquarters building incorporates specialized architectural features to combat Keelung's high humidity, including enhanced ventilation systems and covered vehicle entrances.
