La Cathédrale Épiscopale de la Sainte-Trinité/ Cathedral of the Holy Trinity

Built between 1800 and 1804, the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity introduced British classicism to Quebec City. This refined example of Palladian architecture was designed by Major William Robe and Captain William Hall of the Royal Artillery, adapted from St Martin-in-the-Fields in London, and features a rectangular plan and tripartite nave with lateral galleries. Its pediment, arcade, and Ionic pilasters, inspired by the works of Italian architect Andrea Palladio and seen as innovations in the period, strongly influenced subsequent architecture in the city.
