A walled-city campus named after a Qing-dynasty fort.
Jincheng Junior High was established in 1961 in Zhongxi District before relocating to a new Anping District campus on November 23, 2015, as part of the Tainan Canal "Star Diamond" urban redevelopment plan. The school took its name from the nearby historic fort "億載金城" (Fort Yi Tsai), built by Qing general Shen Bao-chen in the 1870s, and its new campus was deliberately laid out in a pentagon plan with a central library, evoking the walled-city imagery suggested by the school's name. The school maintains sister-school relationships with institutions in New Zealand, South Korea, France, and Kinmen County.
金城國中創立於1961年（民國50年），原址位於中西區，2015年11月23日隨臺南運河「星鑽計畫」都市更新遷至安平區新校地。校名取自附近清代沈葆楨所建的古砲台「億載金城」，新校區特別以圖書館為核心，採五角形城郭意象規劃，教室群則仿聚落村莊排列。學校並與紐西蘭、南韓、法國及金門縣金城國中締結姊妹校。

Living beside Anping's fortress history.
The school is literally named after Anping's Qing-dynasty coastal fort (億載金城), tying its identity directly to the district's 19th-century military and maritime defense history. Its pentagon-shaped campus is a deliberate architectural echo of that walled-fort heritage. See the Tainan county page for more on the region.
