ICIP 2015 Welcome Reception

Location: The Citadelle of Québec

The Citadelle of Québec is the largest British fortress in North America and Canada's oldest military building, dating back to 1693 and the French Regime. It is an integral part of the Québec fortifications and is located on Cape Diamond, the city's highest point. Its walls enclose 300 years of history from the time of New France until today. Known as the Gibraltar of the Americas due of its strategic location, the citadel was recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1980 and is part of the Historic District of Old Québec, which was placed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1985.
