Haiti: Citadele Laferierre – Cannonballs in Thousands

There are over 50000 cannonballs at Citadelle Laferriere. King Henri bought cannons and cannonballs from a variety of nations – Spain, England, Portugal – to defend the fortress against the French attack that never actually happened. The cannonballs are of all size here – from small handheld to massive hernia-inducing.
