Discover the impressive rampart that encircles Old Québec. These fortifications, erected under the French and British regimes, bear witness to the evolution of Québec’s defensive system from the 17th to the 19th century. A world heritage city, Québec is the only city in North America to have conserved the major part of its defence system. ©Parks Canada
