台南府城─億載金城(二鯤身炮台) |
Description: 億載金城又名「二鯤身砲台」，所謂的二鯤身即是昔日羅列在台江西岸的沙洲島名，當時安平古堡位於一鯤身，億載金城位在二鯤身。不過後來因為港口淤積，所以沙洲也就慢慢的連在一起。 億載金城源於「牡丹社事件」所引起的日軍犯台事件，當時欽差大臣沈葆禎奏請朝廷架設仿西式的砲台獲得批准，延請法國人設計，於光緒二年(1876)完成，而此西式的砲台可是台灣的第一座。當時建構此砲台時，因地處沙洲所以材料取得和運送不易，據說所多城磚來自當時已成破牆殘瓦的安平古堡。 億載金城採西洋式紅磚建築，呈四方形，四隅有稜堡，用來放置大砲，而中央凹入的場地則是用來操練軍隊。城外引海水為護城濠，城上設有大炮，故稱大砲台。城門作拱形，外題「億載金城」，內題「萬流砥柱」皆為沈氏手筆，剛勁有力的筆觸更襯托出城堡的固若金湯。 目前億載金城離海漸遠，四周茂林密佈，早失軍事價值。城門右邊的紀念碑上面，記載著億載金城的建築歷史。城內有沈葆禎的紀念銅像，目前放置在城內供人參觀的砲台，為紀念此砲台創建一百週年特別仿製的成品。億載金城現已列為國家一級古蹟。 Billion loaded Jincheng, also known as "two Kun body Fort", the so-called two Kun body that is listed in the West Bank of the ancient island of sand island, then Anping castle is located in a Kun body, billion loaded in the city of two Kun body. But later because of the port siltation, so the sand is also slowly connected together. In the case of the Japanese attack on the "Peony Society" incident, the imperial commissioner, Shen Baocu, invited the court to set up the imitation of the Western-style fort was approved, invited the French design, in Guangxu two years (1876) to complete, and this Western Fort, but Taiwan's first. At that time, when the construction of this fort, because it is located in the sandbar so the material acquisition and delivery is not easy, it is said that many of the brick from the wall has been broken wall of Anping castle. Billion loaded Jincheng mining Western-style red brick building, was a square, four corner of the fort, used to place artillery, and the central concave of the site is used to practice the army. Outside the city cited sea water for the city of Ho, the city with artillery, so called the fort. City gate for the arch, outside the title "billion loaded Jincheng", the title of "the mainstay" are all Shen's handwriting, vigorous and powerful strokes to bring out the castle of impregnable. The current billion loaded Jincheng away from the sea, surrounded by Maolin clouds, early loss of military value. The monument on the right side of the gates above, recorded the history of the building of the billion loaded Jincheng. The city has Shen Baozhen commemorative bronze statue, currently placed in the city for people to visit the fort, to commemorate the fort to create a hundred years of special imitation of finished products. Billion loaded Jincheng is now listed as a national monument.
