Fort Anne National Historic Site is a significant landmark located in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada. Established in 1629, it is recognized as Canada's oldest national historic site and one of the key fortifications in the country's early colonial history.

Originally built by the French, Fort Anne played a crucial role in protecting the interests of European powers in the region, serving as a military stronghold, trading post, and administrative center. Over the centuries, control of the fort shifted between the French and the British as conflicts for dominance in North America unfolded.

Today, Fort Anne National Historic Site offers visitors the opportunity to explore its well-preserved grounds, which include ramparts, bastions, barracks, and a powder magazine. The site features interpretive exhibits, guided tours, and interactive displays that provide insights into the fort's history, architecture, and significance in Canadian history.

Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, as well as recreational activities such as picnicking and birdwatching.

Throughout the year, the site hosts special events, reenactments, and educational programs that bring the fort's history to life and engage visitors of all ages.
