A 
citadel is a historic fortification inside a city that served as defensive core. It is often bastioned and may even feature defence in depth with ditches and glacis (see defensive_works=*).
How to map
Citadels should be mapped just as any other historic=castle: as a 
node at the centre or as an 
area along the outlines.
Note that outworks are sometimes included in the outlines of citadels and other fortifications. As of 2022-11-02 there seems to be no consistency or documented guideline on whether they should be included or left out.
