A history of the Halifax Citadel and its inhabitants through the centuries — in words and pictures.

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.
