Halifax: Citadel Hill

On an unusually warm but rainy November afternoon I visited The Citadel in Halifax.

Halifax, the bustling and vibrant city, is very much built around this historic landmark.

It's on the edge of the downtown area, less than a mile from the waterfront and also the university area.

As you will see in my first photo, it's uniquely situated across from the Scotiabank arena, where the Halifax Mooseheads of the QMJHL play hockey.  No doubt in my mind, that visiting hockey teams scale the hill as part of their pregame workouts.

It was indeed a workout, but worth the hike to see this military fortress preserved and honoured, so close to the modern city.  Uniquely situated, no cost and accessible to tourists, there is really no reason to miss this attraction.
