CITADEL OF QUEBEC

This National Historic Site is located atop Cap Diamant in Old Québec and just a few minutes walk from the Manoir d’Auteuil. Its walls enclose 200 years of history from the New France period to today. Known as “the Gibraltar of the Americas” on account of its strategic location, the Citadel has the star-shaped form characteristic of Vauban fortifications. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the city and the St. Lawrence River from the site. Guided tours are offered year-round and the admission fee includes access to the museum exhibits.
