The Fortifications of Québec is a series of historical sites designated by Parks Canada to commemorate the defense system built in Quebec City between 1608 and 1871, Canada’s principal fortified place during colonial period. 🤓

In addition to the Ramparts of Quebec City, the sites includes the Citadelle of Quebec and former military works such as gates, barracks, powder magazines, storehouses, as well as the Lévis Forts on the other side of the Saint Lawrence River.

Description

Since 1951, most of the buildings are owned by Parks Canada but the Citadelle remains within the Department of National Defence. Some of the decommissioned components managed by Parks Canada and included in the Fortifications are:

• The ramparts, or wall encircling the Old City, including its portion below the sites of Montmorency Park;
• The Esplanade powder magazine;
• The Artillery Park Heritage Site;
• Saint-Louis Forts and Châteaux National Historic Site, near Terrasse Dufferin.

The remainder of the site is either under the control of Public Works Canada, the National Battlefields Commission, the Government of Québec, the City of Québec, or private owners.

National historic sites included in the Fortifications are the Dauphine barracks, the Québec Martello Towers, the Québec Garrison Club, the Québec Citadelle, and the Lévis Forts.

Architects

Some of the engineer involved in the fortifications complex over the years are: François Provost, Josué Boisberthelot de Beaucours, Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Léry, William Twiss, Gother Mann (1747–1830) and Elias Walker Durnford.

History

The British garnison left the city in 1871. Lord Dufferin, the governor of Canada, was partly responsible for the preservation of many of the components in the late 19th century, as local authorities considered the fortifications, especially its walls, to impede the development of the city. The entrances of the gates located on public streets, however, were eventually widened to facilitate the passage of automobiles.

The Fortifications of Québec were designated a national historic site of Canada in 1957.

MCD
