| Description |
Discover the impressive ramparts surrounding the Old City. The Fortifications, built under French and English regimes, reflect the evolution in the defence of Quebec City from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Quebec City is the only city in North America with ramparts.
On walking tours inside and along the walls, you'll see vestiges of history, including powder magazines, cannon, curtain walls, bastions, age-old parks and old buildings, where the most varied activities take place. In the company of a guide, you'll learn the fascinating history of the Fortifications. Explore little known areas! Walk on the ramparts and enjoy the striking view of the St. Lawrence River and the city, or stop by the Fortifications' Visitor Interpretation Centre and the Esplanade powder magazine.
