This monument is known in Chinese as Hong Mao Cheng, the fort of the red-haired barbarians. The Portuguese built a fortress here in 1628, but lost it to the Dutch in 1642. The Chinese warrior Koxinga then pushed the Dutch out of Taiwan and, in 1867, the fort became the British Consulate. One of the few remaining buildings in Taiwan with such an extensive history, Fort San Domingo has withstood 400 years of change. A museum located within the main building tells the history of the compound.

It's quite nice!
It is a unique place to be nestled in Taipei because of its western traits...plus the British consul...
