Le Vieux-Québec, site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO

Founded by the French explorer Champlain at the beginning of the 17th century, Quebec remains the only city in North America to have preserved its ramparts, including numerous bastions, gates, and defensive works still encircling Old Quebec. The Upper Town, at the top of the cliff, a religious and administrative center with its churches, convents, and monuments such as the Dauphine Redoubt, the Citadel, and the Château Frontenac, together with the Lower Town and its old quarters, form an urban ensemble that is one of the best examples of a fortified colonial city.
