Description
The hill on which the citadel stands (Halifax Citadel National Historic Site) is in downtown Halifax, rather like Mont-Royal in Montréal. The top of what was a precipitous, tree-covered hill was leveled off to build the garrison which has been part of the townscape since the 18th C.

There is an exhibition in the old Powder magazine, with exhibits about communication methods and the construction of the Citadel. A replica of the defense casement and a garrison cell can also be seen.
