Originally built by the French on modern-day Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, the Fortress of Louisbourg was the capital of Île Royale (Cape Breton Island), a thriving seaport with one of the busiest harbours in North America and one of France's key centres of trade and military strength in the New World. It was captured by British and New England colonial forces twice; it was destroyed the second time. In the 1940s, it was reconstructed so that today visitors can experience this exceptional fortified town.
