Fort Mississauga, Military fortification in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada.
The fort features a square brick defensive tower positioned within star-shaped earthworks along the shoreline of the Niagara River at Lake Ontario.
Built between 1814 and 1816, the fort replaced Fort George and provided defense against Fort Niagara, situated across the Niagara River in the United States.
The structure incorporates materials from the first lighthouse on the Great Lakes and bricks salvaged from the town of Newark after its destruction in 1813.
Located at 223 Queen Street, the fort grounds are open daily without charge, though visitors must watch for golf balls from the surrounding course.
Fort Mississauga stands as Canada's only remaining example of a square tower fortification embedded within star-shaped earthwork defenses.
