Citadel Fort Port Louis - Mauritius    Share

The Citadel is an erstwhile fort located at one of the highest points in Port Louis and offers free entry for visitors. Due to its vantage point, it offers a panoramic view of the harbour and the central business district of Port Louis. It also houses some cannons from when it was originally built and a souvenir shop. But that's about all it offers. I would have liked more detailed information about the use of the fort and a view of the barracks from within to understand the how the soldiers lived there and how their lives were.

Small and beautiful fort situated in the Port Louis city. It has very scenic view with the ocean, commercial buildings, residential area and mountain on the four sides.

Old fortress. Lovely place to get clicked. On the top good view of the city.

It's the fort of Mauritius. It was built for protection from outside enemies. But fortunately no war was fraught. Later it was treated as jail of Mauritius. The place have some very nice views of city and harbor. Vary nicely maintained. Must visit place.
