The Plains of Abraham is a 1.5 mi long and 0.5 m wide field between the Citadelle of Quebec and the Quebec City walls above the Saint Lawrence River. It is the historic site of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, which was fought in September 1759 between the British and French armies.
The British won the battle in a half hour, eventually taking control of all of Canada. The Plains are now a park used for outdoor concerts, festivals, sports and recreation. Guided tours are available for the visitors who would like to learn more. The park is also the site of annual Remembrance Day ceremonies. Map
