Up on the north side of the country in Cap Haitien lies the greatest architecture feat in the country- the immense Citadelle fortress built by the French to protect the area.. with no guard rails or fences, you can easily fall 2000 feet to your death if you lean too far over the edge so be careful! It takes a good healthy walk up the switchback path, and the locals have a way of cutting straight up to set up vendor tables when they hear people are coming and see vehicles approaching. Amazing! A couple thousand men lost their lives erecting the unfinished structure up on top of the highest peak, and you can see for miles! Afterwards head to Cormier Plage beach or Labadie resort up in the coast!

On the edge of the village of Milot, you usually visit here on the way to the Citadelle. Although ruined now, enough remains to be inspired by the story behind its creation and destruction. It was built by a former back slave who aimed to show her was the equal of any white, European ruler--and he largely succeeded! In its time it would have been the equal of anything in Europe.

This small gem of a church, with a rich history from the time of King Henry If at the gate of Sans Souci palace and is worth a few minutes before or after visiting the palace.

The Heros de Vertieres is a phenomenal monument that must be seen by all visitors and tourists wishing to view Haitian historical legacy at its Best. Most importantly, it is a symbol of Freedom to remind the world of the danger of slavery and its aftermath.
