Palace Gate, Québec City
At the end of Côte-du-Palais Street, Palace Gate is depicted here in a broad perspective. Its great archway reveals a patch of sky and vast depth. The gate is quite monumental from this angle, and intriguing hardware adorns its sides. A magnificent archway dating from the French Regime, Palace Gate was demolished in 1873 to facilitate road traffic.
