Placentia is a historic town located on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Originally established as a French colony called "Plaisance" in the 17th century, it served as the French capital of Newfoundland until 1713. The town's rich history is deeply rooted in the fishing industry and its strategic military significance.
Placentia's cultural heritage reflects both its French and English colonial past, with several preserved historic sites and fortifications, including Castle Hill National Historic Site. The town's location at the junction of two harbors made it an important settlement for both fishing and defense. Today, Placentia continues to preserve its cultural heritage while serving as a regional service center for the surrounding area.
