Lonely Planet review

There are giants and then there is this, the biggest church in Québec City. Measuring over 80m (260ft)long, 34m (110ft) wide and 46m (150ft) high including the steeples, it was built between 1914 and 1923. Église St-Roch hosts the Festival des Musiques Sacrées de Québec (Festival of Sacred Music), a wonderful time to see it at its best.

When the original architects died, this neo-Gothic, neo-Roman structure was finished off by Louis-Napoléon Audet, the same man who worked on Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica. The marble inside is from Saskatchewan. See if you can find faint fossil imprints in it.
