Artillery Park: The Barracks Sector

Artillery Park occupied a strategic position on Québec’s promontory and, closed to civilians for 250 years, served as barracks for French and English troops before becoming Canada’s first munitions factory. In the heart of Québec’s fortified area, it was used over the years as a barracks, warehouse, and arms factory, and it preserves fortifications built by the French in the 18th century as well as the city’s oldest barracks.
