Artillery Park
The French chose this location for their army barracks because of its strategic view of the plateau west of the city and the St Charles River, both which could easily feed enemy soldiers into Québec City. English soldiers moved in after the British conquest of New France. The English soldiers left in 1871 and it was changed into a ammunition factory for the Canadian army.

Fortifications Of Québec
These largely restored old walls are a national historic site. You can walk the 4.6km (2.9mi) circuit on top of them for free, from where much of the city's history is within easy view. The fortifications' Interpretive Centre by the Porte St-Louis has a small but interesting exhibit on the history of the walls as well as an old gunpowder building from 1815. The Centre also offers 90-min guided walks that include the Old Town.
