The Geography of Québec City

The geography of Québec City played a big role in the history of the city. Built on Cap-Diamant – or Cape Diamond – because of its strategic location, the city is separated into Upper and Lower town. Upper Town can be found on top of Cap-Diamant, and is surrounded by a high stone wall. The Upper and Lower Towns are connected via stairways, winding and narrow roads, and a funicular system, which allows beautiful views of the surrounding land. The star-shaped Citadelle is part of Québec City's fortifications, and can be found atop the Cape, as well.
