Citadel Hill: A Historic Landmark in the Heart of Halifax

Located in the center of Halifax, Citadel Hill is a historic fortress built during the British colonial era in 1749. This star-shaped fort serves as both a landmark and a park in Halifax. One of its unique features is the sight of soldiers dressed in traditional Scottish attire, marching within the fortress and guarding its entrance. Visitors can explore the old cannon emplacements along the fortress walls and even get a glimpse of the soldiers' quarters. If you're visiting Halifax, it's highly recommended to enjoy a meal downtown and then take a stroll around Citadel Hill to soak in its history and scenic views. Please note that there is an admission fee. 😊
