Québec City’s Lower Town and the Château Saint-Louis, seen from the parapet of the Upper Town
Québec City developed in two distinct areas: Upper Town and Lower Town. Upper Town generally housed the city’s military and political elite, while Lower Town was more frequented by the working classes. This division is beautifully illustrated in this engraving by James Pattison Cockburn.
