In the game
A small British port town in the North Atlantic, home to an Assassin gang hideout that Shay takes down.
The real place
Founded by the British in 1749, only a few years before the game is set. The star-shaped Citadel still watches over the harbour.
Visiting
Visit the Halifax Citadel, where the noon gun is still fired every day, then walk down to the waterfront.
