The Citadelle Laferrière or, Citadelle Henry Christophe, or simply the Citadelle (English: Citadel ), is a large mountaintop fortress in Nord, Haiti, located on top of the mountain Bonnet a L’Eveque, approximately 17 mi south of the city of Cap-Haïtien, 10 mi southwest of the Three Bays Protected Area, and 5 mi uphill from the town of Milot.
