Today, the Citadelle and the National History Park bring great pride to Haitians,
and have even been featured on their postal stamps and currency.
Admission is $16 CAD and includes entrance to the Citadelle, a museum tour,
the changing of the guard(in summer), and the Beating of the Retreat.
To safeguard their independence and prove to the world what slaves could do,
they built Citadelle Laferrière, one of the largest fortresses in the Americas, in the mountains above the northern
city of Cap-Haïtien.
