- The Citadelle Laferrière, commonly known as La Citadelle, is a large early 19th-century fortress located in Milot in Nord, Haiti. The Citadelle Laferrière was commissioned by Haitian revolutionary Henri Christophe, for whom it is also named Citadelle Henri Christophe, and built by tens of thousands of former slaves. It was the main fortification of the newly independent First Empire of Haiti's defensive strategy against a potential French incursion.

DO THEY HAVE LOTS OF TOURISTS VISITING THE CITADEL RIGHT NOW?
What are the contacts for the Tour guide?
The tour guide speaks good English
I visited Cap Haitian in 2008 or 2009
It was a memorable trip ive been to
What is the contact for the tour guide, please?
What is your Zelle number
I was born in the Caribbean and knew very little about Haiti. Almost my whole high school life was spent learning British history. This video made me proud as a black man and at the same time disappointed at how we were brainwashed. Black people in the Americas owe Haiti a bow of appreciation for what it achieved in those extremely repressive times.
True that
Do you know that the Western World makes sure that all commonwealth countries, the French colonies, and the American colonies never dare to teach the Haitian Revolution ......They said that this black nation Haiti represents a danger to them...... Haitian Revolution forced the Western World to end slavery
That’s why they don’t want you to know
That is very true!!
interesting !!!
How remarkable that Kind Henry Christophe of Haiti was able to accomplish all of this within just 15 years after Haiti freed itself from slavery and colonization. I want to remind my Haitian brothers that more than 200 000 brave Haitian man and woman died sacrificing themselves in the war for independence so that we can have this land that we have today. Our ancestors fought against all odds ; the least we can do is honoring them and their wishes for a Haiti free and prosperous for Haitians.
Don't you think its time to repeat this action instead of having a bunch of so-called gangs fighting each other? come together like voltron
@@MRSZ5440 The gang problems in some part of Haiti is the easiest problem to sold if Haitians leadership would stop listening to the USA promising them aids and Kenyans. Haitians can solve this problem very quickly, the Haitians ways.
@@MRSZ5440 if the Haitian government announce tomorrow that they want to recuite 5000 to 100000 men and women to be part of a force against gang. This would be accomplished very quickly,; in Haiti there are many different forces and former millitary. Even in the diaspora, there are thoussands of Haitians with military experience...but unfortunately the Haitian government since many years have hijacked by the americans ...that s one of the reason they are so inefective...they have to consult and wait with the americans...it is trully embarrassing to watch.

African Tigress your videos are very informative ! You are an educator to say the least . I learn so much everytime I watch your videos.
This citadel is one of the greatest architectural feat in the world. It rivals the pyramids of Egypt. It shows that Africans were great architects. The Haitians are a great people. Irrespective of all the suffering the Haitian people endure, they are still resilient. May God bless Haiti!
Under the right leadership, Black people can build anything. Africa today would be rich and have good infrastructure if Africa had ambitious leaders who wanted to develop their country.
It’s as if that Citadel was built by Heaven itself.
Just look at the Precision of its Architecture!

@@blackmaster999 With forced labor and other forms of slavery like was used to build this thing , anyone can build anything
If Haitians were white there would be many Hollywood movies celebrating their greatness. Haitians are truly remarkable people and they should be PROUD of their ancestors.
We have to celebrate our own and stop letting the liars tell us our history.
I always say that my next wife should be a Haitian woman from the grassroots of the Haitian society. Haitian people, you shall overcome. Your courage and valour cannot be erased from the history books of human fight for Freedom Dignity and self determination.
This place (citadelle) should be a pilgrimage place for blacks all over the world....its significance cannot be put in words
I did too a bow ,& prayed there in September of last year.
It felt amazing
But only if Blacks would lay aside their Pride and come to Bethink themselves, and learn more about Blacks as a Free People, because of our Haitian Brothers and Sisters.
Sis thank you for showing us the real Haiti and not the one they want us to see💯♥️ from 🇯🇲👏👏👏
What real Haiti???
A old Barbie front in a hill or mountaintop!!!????
Did you see any HOMES?
Neighborhoods? Hotels?
Beaches?
Stores?
Shopping malls?
Restaurants?
Theater?
Entertainment venues??
NO YOU DID NOT!
So I can’t understand these comments!
I guess it’s Haitians living abroad who are commenting and feeling nostalgic about their homeland.
But we also need to be REALISTIC AND HONEST!
Since the 70’s Haiti has stop being a place to travel and stop being a place of any tourist interest or accommodation for anyone much less a tourist!
And the media didn’t create that .😮
Haiti is beautiful, and most of what you see and hear about is in and around the capital, there are beautiful neighbour hood in Haiti
@@lavernpink3395Jamaicans hating like always
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US THIS VERY IMPORTANT VLOG. For those who underestimate the diabolical greed of Europeans and the strength and resolve of Black people, this is a priceless lesson in HISTORY for which ALL Haitians should be proud. A lifetime of reading about Haiti (including "The Black Jacobins" by my countryman C.L.R. James) could not have prepared me for the images I see here today.
This structure is simply magnificent and were it not so formidable, I believe that France and her imperial co-conspirator the US, would have destroyed it a long time ago...because of what it represents.
It is crucial therefore, that Black American and Caribbean folks visit this very cultural and historically significant place BEFORE they go to Africa to visit slave castles and other sites of our subjugation. BIG THANK YOU to the very knowledgeable tour guide. He is a national treasure.
Great Idea. Love from Jamaica.
Awesome.
Very well Said,
I’m in full agreement with your Comment!

Truth,
Their Victory, led to the Freedom of all Negroes from Slavery Worldwide some 30-40 years Later!
I am not an African but a black woman from Papua New Guinea. I have always been proud of black people. They are bold, brave, they have the strength to fight for what is right. They toil with pain for the gain of their people, their future generation. I highly salute you Haiti. Be blessed 🌿
As long you're black you are African ,be proud to be.
I am an African in Jamaica, my Ancestors were captured by European Christians. Haiti, Love you warts and all.
Thank you so much African Tigress for Giving Citadelle and Haiti the exposure that it's deserve,
This is why I love History and Geography! this place has so much History, an Haitian people I really loved your beautiful land scape, this video was so touching my imagination went back to the Ancestors that built that place , the whole world will see this,I Respect the Haitian people, this video did something to me,I love History But I love the Haitian people even more than ever now, AT U are the best.

I am amaized by what I have seen Haiti take a bow. All this rich history was hidden from us. All I heard was Haiti is the poorest country in the Caribbean and lttle shacks was shown of people living in abstract poverty.
Thank you African Tigress for bringing awareness to Haiti and opening our eyes. you have changed the Narrative kudos to you.
THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD WATCH THIS VIDEO. HAÏTI IS THE MOTHER AND A SYMBOL OF FREEDOM FOR REAL. GREAT VIDEO TIGRESS!

She put you to shame. W ap oblije tounen, wi 😂
That was built by black power and brains wonderful structure. Nuff respect HAITI 🇭🇹
For real. Blacks built the so called new world.
Indeed so proud of my ancestors
Being from Jamaica how come we didn’t learn anything about Haitian Citadel in school. This is just marvelous at what the Haitians had accomplished.
It just seems as if you’re back in time the when Egyptian Pyramids were being built.😊1❤🇯🇲🇰🇪🇭🇹
The Europeans and the US wanted to keep Haiti isolated from other countries, including the Caribbean.
October 1779, a force of more than 500 Haitian free blacks joined American colonists and French troops in an unsuccessful push to drive the British from Savannah in coastal Georgia. More than 300 allied soldiers were gunned down charging British fortifications Oct. 9, making the siege the second-most lopsided British victory of the war after Bunker Hill. Though not well known in the U.S., Haiti's role in the American Revolution is a point of national pride for Haitians. After returning home from the war, Haitian veterans soon led their own rebellion that won Haiti's independence from France in 1804.
@@jeano7770 That is why we should be United so we can take care of each other. Haitian history is African history, so is Jamaican history is African history.
I have heard of the Citadel before but never bothered to read up on it. Until the great Africa Tigress did her content. My goodness, what a history! The tour guide was magnificent. 🇯🇲👍🏾🇭🇹1❤️ 1🫀🇰🇪👍🏾

Haitians have a very rich history. I always love my haitian people. Respect! Thanks AT great job.

Absolutely beautiful Haiti. One love. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲♥️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
❤❤❤ Thanks fam from 🇭🇹.
Thank you so much for posting this video!! I am a puertorican/ Haitian woman. I grew up going to Haiti every summer and most Holidays. I visited the Citadel when I was a girl. This made me revisit some amazing times. Now at 68 I was able to see parts of the Citadel that I did not . The tour quite was amazing. I cried. I am smiling now. Thank you ‘ ❤
I was there in March I haven’t stopped talking about Haiti since I returned back from my trip . I also had the same tour guide he was absolutely amazing .Our driver Lucian was an absolute gem , I cannot wait to go visit again
Well, thank you African Tigress for continuing to show the amazing beauty of Haiti. May the God and the ancestors bless you.
I have always wondered, Haiti is always portrayed as the poorest country in the Caribbean. but then I realize that because Haiti has the best people in the world who happens to be black, should be portrayed as poor. Haiti is the most beautiful place on earth and full of the best people on earth, that’s why.
Thanks for that comment! Haitians are all over the world looking for opportunities...Haitians will excel if given the opportunity. Great nation! Great people! Great culture! Great art! great food! Breathtaking views!! What a beautiful country!! Long live Haiti!! Long live AT.
I would not say that they are the best country in the Caribbean . In light of the fact they ARE the poorest country in the Caribbean and they HAVE ALLOWED GANGS FROM WITHIN THEIR COUNTRY TO TAKE OVER KILL THEIR CITIZENS!
They need to fight back and reclaim their country.
For DECADES Haiti has been known for HUNGER, POVERTY AND VIOLENCE!
Poppa Doc, then baby Doc!
These dictators were installed with the help of the American govt.
And sadly, the Haitian people never seem to quite know how to overcome evil violent Greedy rulers!
Since I was a child in the late 60’s I have SEEN AND KNOWN HAITIANS THAT ESCAPED AND CAME TO AMERICA!
They have had limbs chopped off by soldiers of this evil regime , it is a dictatorship!
The PEOPLE have to decide once and for all do they live under DEADLY INHUMANE CONDITIONS ?
OR
DO THEY GET TOGETHER AND FIGHT FIRST THEIR FREEDOM AND REGAIN THEIR COUNTRY ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Don’t blame the media!
There is NOTHING NICE TO SEE IN HAITI!
Impoverished areas, FAMINE, BURNT OUT CITIES!
There are no thriving Tourist areas!!
So let’s not give a false picture.
A resilient people always fighting for their freedom from. That is why they fight governments who hold out their hands to receive from USA and Europe who rape the country of their natural resources and suppress the people.
My very same Sentiment and just imagine how the Haitian People Repaid France 1 Billion Dollars also for the Infrastructure, which France claimed to have left behind in Haiti.
So we Negroes really need to start Honouring Our Haitian Brothers and Sisters, instead of Frowning and Looking down upon them, just because The Europeans regard them as a Poor and Uneducated Nation of People.
Thank you for showing this magnificent beauty, the Eighth Wonder of the World. By visiting you are bridging the gap between Ayiti and Africa and showing reverence to our ancestors. You are doing what Africa should have done centuries ago. Your work here is bigger than a show, you are showing Ayiti to the world and you are showing Ayiti to many Ayitians too. This is really priceless! Thank you 💕and thank you to your knowledgeable guide as well.
You have set the bar so high for the other RUclipsrs who will visit Ayiti after you. 💯
So múch history there. Haitian people are a wonderful people who persevere❣️ ALL Blessings to the people of Haiti❣️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you African Tigress for doing this job for Haitians .you are opening doors for an oppress country thank you.
She is educating Blacks from all around the World.
Because of this Citadelle, Blacks are Free from Slavery at the Hands of the Europeans.
These Blacks include You too, Sister!
@@clarkpedican7229 thank you I didn’t know I was one
Fascinating. Now I know what the Citadelle is all about. I have been watching a lot of these videos on Haiti by AT, and even though I am not Haitian I am so proud of them, present and past. These blogs should be put into some form for wider viewing because this is serious education on a country that has been maligned for so long.
Thank you for your kind comments. ❤❤❤ 🇭🇹
If they Refused to do Trade with Haiti, why would they want to Rub Salt into their own Wounds?
Kudos to the tour guide. He articulated very effectively and patiently.
That was quite a history lesson. It held my attention throughout.
Best tour guide ever!!! His fund of knowledge is amazing!!
True!
Wow, this Documentary is Magnificent and Breath Taking at the Same time.
Just Imagine,
Negroes are Free all over the World today because of this Citadel we are Viewing in this Video.
The Genius behind Such a Structure, that is so Precision Built, is Mind Boggling, to say the Least.
Wow, African Tigress, you Really outdone yourself with this Video.
Even the Questions that you asked the Tour Guide, had your Heart and Soul in them.
Best I can Say for myself, is Thanks Very Much for such a Great Scenery and the Education behind the Scenery was Outstanding.
This Tour Guide that you Hired, is Extremely Knowledgeable about the History of this Citadel Structure and many thanks go out to him for the Great job he did.
❤❤❤
The Citadelle Laferrière, is the most famous fort that was built. Black history we learned this in the 1960's and 70's AT you are making history for the younger generation thank you. Louisville, KY USA
Hi AT. Beautiful! Video /tour of the Citadel in Haiti. Very informative /educational .
The young man , is very knowledgeable about the Citadel. He did an excellent tour. Much respect to him. Blessings.
Never learned this in school, learned from my Haitian family .Consider yourself lucky if you’re American born and learned this in a American school 🙏🏽
Thank you your historical contributions for younger generations to adhere.
Awesome, I view with reverence
Awesome video. Thank you for showing us Haiti is not what the media portray alone. It is beautiful. You need more views and likes.
Girl you give us all travel goals for Haiti. Thank you for featuring Haiti with all the respect it deserves. Thank you for sharing your love for Haiti with the world. You travel like a warrior girl. You are so brave and you enjoy everything with no fuss. You’re officially a Haitian daughter.❤️🇭🇹
Haiti's revolution is the reason that ALL peoples of African descent must thank and respect Haitians and why they are a major target of Europeans for many years and why it has been in the interest of Europe and especially the USA to see that Haiti fails and why the rest of us must do our best to see that Haiti succeed. Without Haiti we would all still be chopping wood and being the doormat of Europeans and America. Each of us must do our best to uplift Haiti.
❤❤❤
Now you have seen! Do you understand your WORTH? Do you understand OUR WORTH? Should the world , 🌎 specifically black countries give their understanding to comprehend really what have happened in HAITI 🇭🇹 IN YOUR BEHALF.
They will never forgive HAITI 🇭🇹 for such grandiose actions.
Do you understand now ?
Lots of ❤love for my AFRICAN SISTER AT. Thank you 🙏
As they They Gathered together and decided that non of the European Countries would forever more do Trade with Haiti, they have Succeeded in Having other Rich and Important Black Countries look down upon Haiti with Scorn, as they too, Other Black Wealthy Nations, refuse to Trade with Haiti.
Hence, the Impoverishment, which the Entire World Focuses on whenever they Hear the Name Haiti.
@@clarkpedican7229Yepppp. Sadly 😢.

We should all celebrate greatness. It's another example of how great black people are all over the planet.
A feel some many emotions watching this:
Sad and Angry - because Africans were forced into Chattel slavery.
Proud and Happy - because Hatiians were able to defeat France in the war for liberation from Chattel slavery.
Sad and Angry that Hatians have to fight another war (mentally and economically) to maintain their freedom.
You get it, the fighting never ends. Being the first black country is literally you fighting the world alone because even your own look down on you questioning why you the last and not the first as if they have no concept of what oppression is😒

They look down on you with a huge speck in they own eyes, and waiting for the first black republic to rise again so their can come free loading again just like before right after Haiti gained it's independence. but we have learned.@@Qwinbee7
Haiti didn't just defeated the French, Haiti also defeated Spain and England.
They look down on you with they huge speck in they own eyes while they waiting for Haiti to rise again, thinking Haiti door gonna be open for them to come free loading again just like before when Haiti used to rescued and sheltered them. accept this time we know now who's with us when we stumble. Haiti is handling his trial and tribulation alone.
We the Haitians have a very powerful rich History. One powerful strong Black king built His own massive kingdoms with many Forts in the north .We are descendants of a great powerful kingdom ❤
It shows how the people have endured. Very sad what happened there.
This is not just a video, this is some serious education. I cried my heart out 😭God bless you!!!Miss Tigress for showing the Haitian history to the world 🌎 ❤🇭🇹💪🏿
I am so proud of my Ancestors for building such a formidable place beautiful. Great history lessons.
It is amazing what man was capable of doing in those times.
We r so brain wash about Haiti love u my Haitian brothers and sisters
I take of moment of peace for the ancestors that worked to make this place one the greatest monument of the world 🌍.
Such a great tour guide at the citadel, very good English and we learned alot
Beautiful Queen African Tigress- I am super proud of you and all of your accomplishments in Ayiti 🇭🇹. You have moved mental barriers and mountains installed to fool the world about Haitians.The universe chose you and you rose beautifully to the challenge. On behalf of humanity, the black race and Haitians in particular, we salute and thank you. Now watch for the ripples of blessings that are echoing in the universe. With deep gratitude, profound respect and love from a proud daughter of this chosen and sacred land.🙏 🥰❤.
MUCH RESPECT for the work you do. This is a revelation of our people's defense of freedom while surrounded by an ocean of slavery and colonialism. Will share.
Wow! Breathtaking!! Absolutely magnificent!! What a beautiful country!! The tour guide is very knowledgeable!! African Tigress, once again you show the depth of your content creations! You’ll leave an indelible mark on Haiti!! You are the daughter of 🇭🇹!! We love you immensely! Thanks for visiting our beloved country!! Stay safe!! Merci beaucoup!! Que Dieu te benisse!!
I’m so glad to see those huge cannons are still in the citadel. They recently stole two cannons we need to be careful
I’m starting to sound like a broken record but I’m so passionate about Haiti that I’m not really living when my country is not striving.
There were two countries in the Caribbean that were leading in tourism up to the late 70’s. Cuba as an American territory attracted American tourists and Haiti because of its historical significance. Starting from the first European settlement in the Americas, the resting place of the Santa Maria, the resistance of the native, all the way to 1804; every step you take in Haiti you’re walking on historical ground.
To those of you who are not Haitians, have you ever wondered why the western media is hellbent on portraying Haiti in a disparaging manner? Well, as the saying goes, you only throw rocks after ripe fruits.
The spirits of the Ancestors still live through some of us.
Haiti shall not perish with the help of the Almighty.
Thank you once again AT for the phenomenal work you’re doing and kudos to the guide. He was right on point. I was paying close attention 😀
Haiti is so beautiful and full of rich history. All ppl of African descent should be proud of our African brothers and sisters who fought for our freedom. Big up 🇭🇹 we love you . Tnks African Tigress for showcasing our beautiful island. Keep up the amazing work blessings ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
At thank you for the knowledge of Haiti proud to be black
Ms. Tigress, your tour of Haiti was worth the price of admission. You have opened the eyes, and the minds of those of us who had no idea or more so , preconceived notions about Haiti. I,for one, will now view Haiti in a new light. You have dispelled a lot of myths.Your decision to go to Haiti despite being advised to do so by those whom I believe deeply and genuinely cared for your safety is commendable.
I’m the one who has been tagging you on Twitter X sharing your videos. Been a follower since day one when you first started on RUclips. You’ve now earned your stripes.
Thank you so much 😊 ❤️. I appreciated you
You are the best. As a historian am shedding tears. History is Real. God bless you.

Under the right leadership, Black people can build anything. Africa today would be rich and have good infrastructure if Africa had ambitious leaders who wanted to develop their country.

Thank-you for sharing this - again, Dantus excelled. We may never get to visit, but at least we have seen it now. A thousand thanks from the UK.
Great tour and the person guiding you did an outstanding job. One thing he didn’t mention was, each rooms have windows facing outside to not only protect the areas but also, that if the top of the building is too cloudy, the guards who are stationed below the building on the lower floors will have a much better views of ppl trying to enter the citadel. Notice how good and clear the view became when you guys went down to the lower floors?? The enemy stood no chance! They could see them from the top of the building on a clear day and they could still see them from the lower floors on a cloudy day. Hope this helped you understand better
They were smart...that is why they had forts on other mountains.
Wow!
I’m so proud of you African Haitian 🇭🇹 Tigress You’re a Special Kind of Person Be Blessed 🙏🏽🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹
Mambo/Bonjour African tigress. In baseball term you just hit a grand slam. Spent my first 18yrs of my life in Haiti. I’m in my sixties now and just learned so much through A.T’s lens.

Thank you so much for sharing positive image of Haïti. We need this❤🇭🇹
Wonderful video and very educative. Thank you Tigress. Haiti has suffered a lot and is still suffering today from the racial hatred of people who want everything for themselves.
@AfricanTigress Great set of videos! You brought me to tears my dear, you have no idea how touched and happy I was to see that magnificent beauty. I felt like I was there with you during that long tour. I have a special connection with all these extraordinary Ayitians heroes and and I appreciate everyone who loves Ayiti.

This was such beautiful tour and enlightening moment regarding history overall and the wealth of Haiti…it’s so interesting how much is not taught to us as Caribbean descendants of the West Indies…well done AT…❤🇹🇹❤
Thank you so much for showing us so much about Haiti . So much History !!!! The world has really done Haiti alot of injustice .This feels like something out of a movie that the world has never known .
Much love from your fellow countrymen 🇰🇪
TOTALLY AGREED,AND HAITI HAS, AND IS PAYING A PRICE FOR HELPING OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO BE FREED.
So inspired to check out not only history of The Citadel but Haiti the Caribbean and Africa. Thanks so much AT and your guide. God bless
Thanks!
Thank you so much for taking us on this virtual tour. This made me even more proud of our African ancestral cousins who were brought to the new world. Their intelligence, bravery, and work ethic is a thing of marvel. Viva l’Afrique!
Very impressive they were intelligent smart innovative and powerful. So proud of my ancestors.
The continent of Africa should embrace Haiti as a beloved son

Africa tigress always brings the education and knowledge in her videos and it’s much appreciated 🖤🇭🇹
SPECIAL THANXS to AFRICAN TIGRESS for its astute and overwhelmingly SENSIBLE indoctrination of how this fort was built - a TRULY MUST SEE when visiting HAITI!
I am from Africa and proud of what Haitians did for their people. This is history that people don't know about.
It took Haitian slaves 12 years of hard fought battles against the French to set themselve free.The Vertieres battle was the bloodiest and the ultimate one. Had we lost , France would have reclaimed the colony, killed our ancestors and reintroduced slavery. We won, by the grace of God, and proclaimed our independence on Jan. 1st 1804. This was a big blow to the colonial order and to all Europeans who thought that black slaves were dumb sub humans. Now they knew that we could be better soldiers, better generals and defeat them on the battle field. Haiti became the black ship afterwards because the colonialists became fearfulof a domino effect. Thanks A.T! I visited Citadelle but did not have a guide. Huge mistake!
No. it took haitian's 12 years of hard fought battles against Spain, England and France to become a free nation.
Haitians, like the rest of Black people of the Americas, or not African slaves. This is a lie. The West African Empires were defeated in the late 19th century.
Haiti to the world 🇭🇹🇭🇹
I hope you publish a beautifully illustrated coffee table book just on Haiti. I would buy it in a heartbeat. I hope you get to experience Haitian classical music before you leave. What a wonderful adventure you have had in Haiti.
Thank you african tigress, first time of my life I have been seen the citadelle in this magnitude, I didn't know it was that huge,thanks again for educational endeavor about my country castle
Am I the only one? It looks like right from a scene from a Chinese castle? I'm Haitian, and I heard of it, but to actually see in fine detail the lengths human beings are willing to take not to be enslaved is unbelievable. It's like you are on top of the world. I would get altitude sickness. I would take my chance fighting the French below. I get Daisy just watching it on video. The water reservoir was the most ingenious there is. The first environmentally friendly aqueduct. The most efficient use of rainwater. Back then, rainwater was safe, but the Earth's ecosystem used the technique to fill its rivers and lakes. WOW
Beautiful 🎉 I visited the Citadel in 2017. Viewing this video made me a bit emotional. Thank African tigress
