The Citadel was built in the 1800's after the Haitians drove the French out of Haiti. Since the French stayed in the DR, the Haitians were afraid that they would come back so they built this citadel.
The views both inside and out were amazing. In the 80's this was a major tourist attractions with around 9,000 people coming every week. Now they get maybe two to three small groups a week.
