English Heritage
Plymouth Royal Citadel
A bastioned artillery fortress
Construction of the Royal Citadel, designed by King Charles II's (r. 1660-85) engineer Sir Bernard de Gomme, began in 1665 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War. Its guns and garrison protected the seaward approach to naval anchorages at Sutton Pool and the Cattewater but also guarded against a landward attack. Its ornate main gate is a notable work in the Baroque style.
Visits by guided tour only, Mon, Tue, Thu & Sun 14.30. Booking advised with Armada Tours on or at www.citadel.yapsody.com or meet at the main gate. (350m to the left)
