View of Holy Trinity Cathedral, Place d’Armes and homes on Sainte-Anne Street, Québec City
This 1806 scene highlights the importance of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a powerful Anglican symbol in the heart of Québec City. Built between 1800 and 1804, this religious building affirmed Britain’s rule of the former French colony. In building it, the aim was to rival the height of the statuesque Notre-Dame-de-Québec Basilica, an imposing Catholic monument.
