Quebec Royal Square (Place-Royale)

Quebec’s Royal Square, or Place-Royale, remains a timeless heart of Quebec City, dating back to the city’s founding by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. This 17th-century plaza, with its cobblestone streets and historic architecture, is home to the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church, the oldest stone church in North America. Nearby, the Fresque des Québécois mural adds a vibrant touch to the area. Visitors can stroll through the square, taking in the rich history and well-preserved surroundings that have remained largely unchanged over the centuries.
