Halifax Citadel - HistoricPlaces.ca
Halifax Citadel is a large, stone early 19th-century British fortification located atop Citadel Hill, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The walled citadel is surrounded by an expansive grassed glacis descending to the commons on the west side and downtown Halifax on the east side. It is the most prominent fortification in a network of defensive works that have historically guarded Halifax, its dockyard and its harbour.

Halifax Citadel National Historic Site of Canada - Discover Halifax
The star-shaped Halifax Citadel in downtown Halifax is packed with history. This military fort on Citadel Hill is the perfect spot to keep watch over Halifax Harbour and the city. In 1749, the first Halifax Citadel was built by British military, originally as a wooden guardhouse. It wasn’t until 1828 that the current star-shaped fortress was constructed.

Halifax Citadel National Historic Site - Tourism Nova Scotia
It’s not an exaggeration to say Halifax, a city on the sea, owes its existence to the Citadel. It was the large hill overlooking the easily defended harbour below that led the British military to found the town there in 1749. Among the first buildings constructed was a wooden guardhouse on top of what would eventually be called Citadel Hill, with Halifax’s first settlers building their homes at the base of the hill, closer to the water.

Citadel Hill (Fort George) - Wikipedia
Although all four fortifications constructed on Citadel Hill since 1749 are variously referred to as Fort George, only the third fort (built between 1794 and 1800) was officially named Fort George, by General Orders of October 20, 1798, after Prince Edward's father, King George III. The first two and the fourth and current fort, were simply called the Halifax Citadel.
