The ramparts of Quebec City is a city wall that surrounds the western end of Old Quebec's Upper Town in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. They date back to the 17th century, with the ramparts having undergone a succession of modifications and improvements throughout their history.

Canons still stand today on top of the wall.
Porte Saint-Louis Porte Saint-Louis was the third gate we encountered, built over Rue Saint-Louis. Just like Porte Saint-Jean, it dates back to at least 1694 and was demolished in 1791. After being rebuilt and reconstructed over the years, the present gate was established by Lord Dufferin in 1880. There are pedestrian tunnels on either side of the road, and one central tunnel over the street.

Fresque des Québécois on Côte de la Montagne.
Fresque du Petit-Champlain, depicts milestones in the history of Cap-Blanc, Québec City's working-class waterfront neighbourhood, from the beginnings of New France until the present day.
This mural recounts the story of Québec City, weaving in visual allusions to its unique architecture and fortifications, and its larger-than-life personalities. Look closely at the building's windows: you'll see some 15 historic figures and nearly a dozen of Québec's leading writers and artists. It's truly a breathtaking work!
