Fort York National Historic Site
Built in 1793 by British soldiers to defend the harbor, it is famous as the site of the violent Battle of York during the War of 1812. The walled site holds Canada's largest collection of original War of 1812 buildings, including blockhouses, barracks, and gunpowder magazines. It operates as a living museum featuring guided tours, exhibits at the modern Visitor Centre, and battlefield grounds like the Garrison Common
