Citadelle in Cap-Haitien Haiti-newsamericasnowNews Americas, Thurs. Aug. 7, 2014: Can you guess where this is?

It is the Citadelle in Cap-Haitien Haiti. The large mountaintop fortress in northern Haiti is the largest fortress in the Americas and was designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a World Heritage Site in 1982.

The Citadel was built by Henri Christophe, a key leader during the Haitian slave rebellion, after Haiti gained independence from France at the beginning of the 19th century.
