Citadel Hill (Fort George) in Halifax, Canada, is a National Historic Site that has played a crucial role in the city's military history since its initial construction in 1749. Overlooking Halifax Harbour, the star-shaped fortification was built to protect the city against various threats, including potential invasions during the colonial period. The current structure, completed in 1856, is the fourth iteration of the fort and features impressive defensive architecture, including thick masonry walls and strategically placed bastions.
