Cambyses II moved the capital of the Achamaenid Persian empire from Pasargadae to Susa. But Cambyses' act of moving the capital came long after Nabonidus or Belshazzar. Remember: Cyrus conquered Babylon in 539 BCE. Cambyses II comes after Cyrus. Daniel is historically broken because it associates the alleged reign of Belshazzar's 3rd year with a capital at Susa, a city which wouldn't become the capital until: (a) the reign of two other rulers (Cyrus, Cambyses II) had occurred; and (b) a decade of time had passed. And Belshazzar was never a king anyhow, so you're kind of dead-ending on your starting assumption as well. Quote:

Does a capitol have to have a citadel?

Good question. According to this source, Cyrus the Great at one time declared that 3 capitals existed in the persian empire.
Susa was declared as one of the three capitals of the Persians |

It wasn't a capital during the "third year of Belshazzar" - as Daniel claims. |
