A major building on top of a mountain, Citadelle la Ferrière is a prime example of an enormous effort with huge costs for, ultimately, no real reason. It is also one of the major historic sights in the Caribbean.
We declined, and it proved to be the best stretch, furthermore, offering great views of the Citadelle. It rose like a magnificent ship high above us, docked forever on the top of the mountain. Once up on the roof of the Citadelle, we sat down and read about the history, which, in fact, is amazing. When Henri Christophe ruled the northern part of Haiti, he wanted to build a solid protective castle against the French whom, he was convinced, would attack again in an attempt to retake the colony they had lost in the slave revolution. He chose the top of a mountain, at around 900 metres, and ordered a massive defensive structure to be built. After our climb up, we could well imagine the hardship involved in constructing this enormous building. In fact, Henri Christophe shot himself with a silver bullet in the year the Citadelle la Ferrière was finished - some say, in the Citadelle itself, to avoid facing the revolt that was being raised against him.
