Halifax Citadel Hill, one of the largest stone fortresses in North America, was built in 1856 and has undergone four reconstructions. ๐ก๏ธ As soon as you enter the castle, the expansive parade ground catches your eyeโit was once a place for soldiers to train. ๐ฐ ๐ซ Next to it, the barracks have been restored to their Victorian-era style, ๐ฉ๐ฉ ๐๏ธwith neatly arranged beds and daily necessities, offering a glimpse into the living conditions of soldiers during that time. The Arms and Ordnance Museum within the castle is a must-see, displaying ancient rifles and artillery that carry the memories of wars. ๐ซ ๐ซ Although there is no gunpowder in the powder magazine, you can learn about its past operations. ๐ฅ ๐๏ธ A stroll along the city walls offers excellent views from the rifle shooting gallery, overlooking the downtown area and harbor. ๐ The signal mast was once used to transmit signals and has witnessed a long history. ๐ฉ Every day at noon, there is a ceremony of firing a salute. ๐๏ธ ๐ฐDuring the off-season in March, many activities are not available, such as some museums and souvenir shops. ๐ #CitiesInMovies #Architecture #CityMemories #Halifax #CitadelHill #HistoricalSites ๐ท๏ธ
