La Citadelle de Quebec is a star-shaped functioning military base located on Cap Diamant in the Old Quebec. Built in 1820, it is part of the ancient 400 year old Quebec fortifications built to protect New France. There are several guided tours a day, which includes watching the ceremony of the changing of the guards.
The views of the Plains of Abraham, the city and the St. Laurence River are spectacular. La Citadelle is an official residence of Canada's monarch and the Canadian Governor General, who lives in it for a few weeks during the summer. The Citadelle is also the site of ceremonies for newly appointed or leaving Canadian ambassadors and high commissioners.
