The Halifax Citadel was part of the intricate defence system that Britain put in place to defend Halifax harbour in the eighteenth century. Halifax is apparently the second largest natural harbour in the world, after Sydney Australia, which made it a key military and economic possession.

A few miles out, heading down to Sannat, looking back on the medieval fortifications of the Citadel, in Victoria / Rabat on Gozo. Gozo is a small island, perfect for walking, and the Citadel provides a wonderful sight from many places.

 

We used the Sunflower walking book: "Landscapes of Malta and Gozo", we did all the walks on Gozo - they were a real highlight of the holiday. The walks take you almost all around the island, often heading back to Victoria. If you are a walker, I can definitely recommend a week's holiday - split between Malta and Gozo.

تقع هذه القلعة في نهاية جزيرة فاروس غرب الإسكندرية. وشيدت في مكان منار الإسكندرية القديم الذي تهدم سنة 702 هـ اثر الزلزال المدمر الذي حدث في عهد السلطان الناصر محمد بن قلاوون. وقد بدأ السلطان الأشرف أبو النصر قايتباي بناء هذه القلعة في سنة 882 هـ وانتهى من بنائها سنة 884 هـ. وكان سبب اهتمامه بالأسكندرية كثرة التهديدات المباشرة لمصر من قبل الدولة العثمانية والتي هددت المنطقة العربية بأسرها وقد اهتم السلطان المملوكي قنصوه الغوري بالقلعة فزاد من اهميتها وشحنها بالسلاح.

The Royal Citadel in Plymouth, Devon, England, was built in the late 1660s to the design of Sir Bernard de Gomme. It is at the eastern end of Plymouth Hoe overlooking Plymouth Sound, and encompasses the site of the earlier fort that had been built in the time of Sir Francis Drake.

 

During the Dutch Wars of 1664-67 King Charles II decided that it was necessary to realise the importance of Plymouth as a channel port. The original plan was to build a regular self-contained fort with five bastions, to the west of Drake's Fort, but this was revised to take in the earlier fort, resulting in the Citadel's irregular outline. Possibly due to Plymouth's support for the Parliamentarians in the Civil War its guns could also fire on the town. De Gomme faced some criticism over his unorthodox design: for instance when Samuel Pepys visited in 1683 he wrote that "De Gomme hath built very sillily".

The citadel houses the former Imperial City--home to the emperors and their enormous entourage. The entrances to the Imperial City are enormous, in part to accommodate the parade of elephants that accompany royal welcomes--a sort of 19th century red carpet treatment.
