More of Halifax

While in Halifax we toured the Citadel, a fort completed by the British in 1865. It was the fourth fort built on this site. The name Nova Scotia means "New Scotland" and the Scottish influence remains strong in the city.





This clock was built for the city by Prince Edward, Duke of Kent who live in the city until 1800. He had the clock erected to help the citizens of the city resolve their problem of tardiness. The clock is four-sided and is located atop the hill leading to the Citadel.
