崇武古城：我国现存最完整的花岗岩滨海石城－崇武古城，位于惠安崇武半岛上。是我国古代东南海疆的一座抗倭名城。为全国重点文物保护单位。

　　崇武半岛在我国古代的海防史上占有重要地位。明洪武二十年（公元1387年），为防备海盗倭寇，江夏侯周德兴在崇武建造城池。初筑时，明嘉靖三十七年（公元1558年），倭寇攻城六昼夜，城被攻陷，百姓生命财产遭到严重损失，鉴此教训，劝募大修。明隆庆元年（公元1567年）四月，福建总兵抗倭民族英雄戚继光屯兵在此，兴修城防，演武练兵，建立起一套完整的军事制度和城防设施。清代又进行了大规模的整修，这时全城周长2567米，南北长500米，东西宽300米，基宽5米，墙高7米，有窝铺26座，城堞1304个，箭窗1300个。四面设门，东西二门筑有月城，城墙上有烽火台、了望台和这放铳炮的虚台。城墙有二至三层的跑马道四城边各有一潭、一井和通向城外的涵沟。城内原建有捍寨、墩台、馆驿、军营和演武厅等，构成一套比较完整的军事防御体系。
