Halifax Citadel

My family and I took a tour of Halifax and we drove around the citadel, but never went inside of it. It looks awesome and we would love to go back again some day and actually go inside of it =)

I work at the Halifax Citadel, and have for three years now. It’s Halifax’s best attraction, by far and if you’re visiting the city I would make sure to check it out at least at noon for the firing of the cannon (which happens year round) and the noon day concert (which only happens during the summer, when the entire Citadel is open). Also, the coffee shop has home made soups and sandwiches that are worth checking out. The cook is a wonderful lady!

At noon every day a canon is fired. It’s called the noon gun and whenever it goes off all sorts of motion-sensitive alarms go off as well.
