  • 景點:西台古堡
  • 交通:沿著203縣道約50分鐘可抵達
  • 開放時間:08:30-16:30
  • 門票:全票30、團體票25、半票15
  • 介紹:
    • 這篇文章只能視為西台古堡的導讀,關於西台古堡的詳細介紹得另外寫專題來談。
    • 中法戰爭過後(1884),清廷對澎湖的態度轉趨積極,意識到澎湖在軍事防務上的重要性,因此責承李鴻章在澎湖大興軍事防務工程,媽宮城,西台古堡等古蹟於是誕生。5年後日軍以重砲艦隊替清廷做工程驗收,答案是不及格!
    • 西台古堡目前列為國家一級古蹟,今評列為國家一級古蹟,佔地8.15公頃,基地設計成山字形,內有兵房及中央甬道相互通達。整座堡壘牆身厚達 2尺,隧道長13尺、寬11尺,安置了英國打造的阿姆斯壯大砲四門,當時最遠可以打進媽宮城內。內設有貯彈室、外圍防禦郭牆以土壘為主,分內垣跟外垣,防禦工事相當完善。
    • 整做古堡最多曾有5000名水師於此紮營操練,以當時的防禦工事跟火砲威力不可說不剛猛,不過1895年日軍侵澎時,西台古堡的守軍卻不戰而降,只向進入媽宮城內的日軍發射幾門砲彈後,就紛紛棄械扮成平民逃逸,當時日軍清點西台古堡軍火時發現有數百顆未發砲彈及數十萬顆槍用子彈,可見當時西台古堡的守軍不是不能戰,而是畏戰。
  • 景點設施:
    • 公共廁所
    • 西台古堡正門外有飲水零食販賣處
  • 建議玩法:
    • 登西台古堡外牆垣可以清晰地遠眺虎井、桶盤、風櫃半島以及馬公地區所包圍而成的一個馬蹄狀缺口,說明了西台古堡在控制澎湖內海入口的絕對位置。登西台古堡眺望澎湖內灣,遙想當年烽火戰事,眼下是蔚藍海水,朦朧的遠方島嶼、幾株孤零的龍舌蘭襯托,非常具有邊疆塞外的風情。
    • 站友如果在西台古堡遇到大團體有導遊帶領導覽的話,不妨靠近聽聽解說,畢竟古蹟這種玩意是內行看門道,外行只能湊熱鬧。
    • 西台古堡以前是西嶼外垵村的小孩喜歡的捉迷藏景點,在裡頭捉迷藏,當鬼的一定很慘。不過夏季古堡甬道內十分酷熱,站友們真的玩起捉迷藏,恐怕沒被找到前就先中暑了。
  • 食的資訊:
    • 西台古堡正門外的販售部有在賣現炸花枝丸,炸得金色飽滿,油熱燙口的花枝丸,咬下去就是花枝切塊,濃郁的花枝香味加上彈性極佳的口感,不管是看相或吃相都有很高的評價。不過一粒要價10塊,不便宜也!
    • 食遂知味的站友別擔心,這家花枝丸使用的是「仁品」的花枝丸,回到馬公可以前去特產行指名購買,帶回台灣自己油炸。
  • 搭配路線:
  • 澎湖人的老記憶:
    • 關於西台古堡內四尊英國製阿姆斯壯後膛砲芳蹤何在的說法,有一說是指日據時期,日本在二戰後期因為缺乏鋼鐵原物料,所以把這四尊砲拆卸熔掉。另外一種說法是日本撤離澎湖時有將四尊古砲點交給國民政府軍隊,但因國民政府軍隊軍紀敗壞,地區軍官私自將四尊古砲賣到國外的博物館內。不管哪種說法為真,四尊深具歷史意義的古砲灰飛湮滅是不爭的事實。
    • 清廷打造西嶼砲台是採取古堡主體結構由德國人設計監造,大砲等武器向英國購買,目的是為了巧妙地運用兩國商業利益上的矛盾,爭取最大的利益空間,才不會讓古堡後續的維修跟設備取得任人宰制。
