The Citadelle


Looking up the mountain at the Citadelle, built on top of a 3000 foot mountain by King Henri Christophe in the early 1800s. The fact that there was not a gun in the world that could have fired a shot from the location of the Citadelle and actually reach the bay did not stop Christophe from building this amazing fortress to "defend" Haiti from a potential French invasion to reclaim ownership of Haiti.
