Fort Provintia, also known as Chihkan Tower, is a historic fort located in Tainan, Taiwan. Built by the Dutch in 1653 during their colonial rule, the fort was initially named "Provintia," meaning "eternity" in Dutch. After the Dutch were defeated by Koxinga in 1662, the structure underwent several transformations, including its renaming and partial reconstruction by the succeeding Qing Dynasty. Today, Fort Provintia serves as a popular tourist attraction and cultural site, featuring well-preserved architectural elements and numerous artifacts that showcase the rich history of Taiwan's colonial past.
