I really appreciated this este of castle which cannot be visited because of its security. Nevertheless, I liked the different architectural styles that make it up. The rehabilitation association seems very competent to me. I can only wish for financial contributions, subsidies for example, to the municipality in order to help it in the rehabilitation of such a construction. I advise to discover this site.

The ASPAM which works to maintain or restore the place is carrying out a superb mission. Thanks to them.

Citadelle of Quebec

The Citadelle of Quebec is an active military installation and official residence of both the Canadian monarch and the Governor General of Canada. It is located atop Cap Diamant, adjoining the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City. The citadel is the oldest military building in Canada, and forms part of the fortifications of Quebec City, which is one of only two cities in North America still surrounded by fortifications, the other being Campeche, Mexico.

The first fortifications in Quebec were built by the Governor General of New France Louis de Buade, and completed just in time for the Battle of Quebec in 1690.

After the British conquest in the second half of the 18th century, the problem of Quebec City's defences grew more acute.
