The hotel Fairmont Le Château Frontenac can bee seen to the left in the distance.

The citadel is the oldest military building in Canada, and forms part of the fortifications of Quebec City, which is one of only two cities in North America still surrounded by fortifications, the other being Campeche, Mexico.
The fortress is located within the Historic District of Old Québec, which was designated a World Heritage Site in 1985]]>
