Citadel Hill National Historic Site
Canada's most-visited national historic site, the Citadel is a huge, oddly-angled fort on top of Halifax's big central hill. The current structure was built to defend Halifax from the Americans.
The excellent guided tours explain the fort's shape and how, despite appearances, it was neither well designed nor well constructed. For some free entertainment watch the hourly changing of the guard - just look for kilts and ostrich-feather hats. And men standing very, very still.
