Fortifications
Guided walking tours of the three-mile (5km) long city wall that
surrounds the old city of Québec trace the evolution of the
city's defence system across three centuries. The walls are set
with interpretation panels. Quebec is the only fortified city in
North America and this fact contributed to its being named a World
Heritage City. Visitors can also view the Esplanade Powder
Magazine.
