Fort San Domingo was owned by the Spanish, Dutch, the Qing Dynasty Chinese government, and finally became the British trade consulate. After the United Kingdom broke off diplomatic ties with Taiwan, the Former British Consular Residence became a museum

Fort San Domingo (or Hongmao Castle/紅毛城) is the perfect example of Taiwan’s complex history. It was originally constructed as a fort for the Spanish. Then, the Dutch built a new fort on site called Fort Antonio. During the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese government controlled this place. However, the British took over and made it their trade consulate. Taiwan’s government finally retrieved this piece of land from the British in 1980.
