Citadelle of Québec

This impressive star-shaped military fortress perches dramatically above Old Quebec City, offering panoramic views that stretch across the St. Lawrence River and the entire region. Built after the War of 1812, it remains one of North America's largest military buildings still in use, blending impressive architecture with centuries of Canadian military history. Walking its ramparts and exploring the barracks, powder magazines, and guardhouses provides an immersive step back into 19th-century garrison life.
