Description:
Located in Old Québec, this historic church is the oldest Christian parish north of Mexico. Over the course of the Basilica's 300-plus years, it has weathered fierce storms, stood firm during bombardments, and was even reduced to rubble after British bombing in 1759 – making it one of Québec's more durable historic sites. Reconstruction efforts have returned it to its previous glorious state, and visitors are welcome to enter the church and view the paintings and ecclesiastical treasures housed therein.
