Description
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people visit the Halifax Citadel to learn about the history of the fort, its inhabitants and the city it was built to defend. One of Canada’s most famous landmarks, tourists and locals alike come to watch the firing of the noon-day gun, watch re-enactments, listen to the pipe band and step into history.
Updated to include the Citadel’s newest exhibits and new photographs of the historic site, this book is the only illustrated history of this storied fort.
