Citadel Hill National Historic Site - Nova Scotia

Citadel Hill National Historic Site - Nova Scotia


Canada's most visited national historic site, the huge Citadel is an eight-pointed star-shaped fort on top of Halifax' big central hill.

Construction began in 1749 with the founding of Halifax; this version of the Citadel is the fourth, built from 1818 t 1861.

Guided tours explain the fort's intriguingly practical shape and surprisingly peaceful history. The ground inside the fort are open year-round, with free admission when the exhibits are closed.
