Plymouth Citadel

The Plymouth Citadel, also referred to simply as The Citadel, is the centre of the WSDF Joint Headquarters who commad the tri-service Self Defence Forces of Wessex.

The Citadel is located at the eastern point of Plymouth Hoe, looking out onto Plymouth Sound. Originally built in the late 1660's under the order of King Charles II of England, when it was decided that it was necessary to realise Plymouth's importance as a channel port. The citadel encompasses much of Sir Frances Drake's Fort that was situated in the area where the citadel was built.

The Citadel encompasses several large office buildings and barracks for on-site staff, with the large elongated Central Command Centre located centrally within the citadel, adjacent to the Heliport in the centre of the citadel.
