Completed in 1884, this was the official Confucian temple and school for the walled city of Taipei. It was demolished as part of an urban renewal project in 1907 and replaced in 1939 by the Confucian Temple located north of here in Datong District. Today only a tiny roadside monument (清臺北府文廟舊址紀念碑) indicates the site of the former temple.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
