Halifax

Halifax has served as a major Atlantic port in Nova Scotia since its founding in 1749. Set on the broad Halifax Harbour, the provincial capital faces Dartmouth across the water and looks toward the approaches of the Atlantic. The star-shaped Halifax Citadel, a 19th-century fortification on Citadel Hill, recalls the city's long military importance. Along the waterfront, the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 interprets the journeys of nearly one million immigrants who arrived in Canada between 1928 and 1971.
