Fort San Domingo, which has stood in Tamsui for over 300 years, is characterized by its striking vermilion exterior walls. The park features buildings from the Dutch and Spanish periods, the Qing Dynasty, and the Japanese colonial era. It is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Taiwan. The first fort was built in 1628 by the Spanish, who ruled northern Taiwan, and was named "Fort San Domingo." However, Fort San Domingo was later destroyed, and in 1644, the Dutch rebuilt it near the original site and named it "Fort Antonio." At that time, the Han Chinese called the Dutch "red-haired people," so the fort was called "Fort San Domingo." In 1724, Wang Qian, the Tamsui garrison commander of Taiwan Prefecture, began renovating Fort San Domingo and added four outer gates. After 1867, Fort San Domingo was leased by the British government as a consulate, and the consular residence was built next to it. It has been under the jurisdiction of Spain, the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Zheng, the Qing Dynasty, and Great Britain, the United States, and Australia, making its history a living testament to Taiwan's history.
