Québec City from the Ursuline Bastion
With Cockburn’s brush strokes, the Ursuline Bastion and its compound come to life, testifying to a Québec City thriving within its walls. Particularly popular with the British military, this street features the Saint-Louis curtain wall, a number of cannons and the impressive Congregation of Notre-Dame-de-Québec Church, built between 1818 and 1820. This complex is now part of the Place de l’Assemblée-Nationale.
