Today our group travelled to the Citadelle Fortress outside of Cap Haitien. This fort was built by the forces of an independent Haiti in 1804. It was purposefully built away from the shoreline on top of a mountain and was impenetrable by any European invasion force. King Henri Christophe has extremely large and well fortified structuret built over three years. In 1982 it was declared by UNESCO as a world heritage site and is a powerful symbol to Haitians.
