Designed by Eugène-Étienne Taché, the Parliament Building is a monument to the glory of the women and men who marked the history of Québec and French America. Built between 1877 and 1886 in the architectural style of the Second Empire and inspired by the expansion of the Louvre in Paris, this unique structure was recognized as a Québec national historic monument in 1985. Its architecture and rich ornamentation illustrate the words engraved above the main entrance, “Je me souviens” (I remember), which later became Québec’s motto. Many species of trees, shrubs and plants representative of the wide variety of flora native to Québec can be observed when walking around the gardens surrounding the Parliament Building.
We pre-booked our free tour online with ease and arrived early, as per the instructions to account for the security screening. The tour was fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable and eager to share stories about the building. We left the tour with a much better understanding and appreciation of Quebec history and culture and politics. The new visitor centre is beautiful and complements the historic beauty of the older parts of the building. We especially loved the visit to the library. One of our highlights to Quebec City.

This ornate building exemplifies Second Empire architectural design.
A magnificent building with great history. City hall was rebuilt after a fire destroyed it in 1922 and it is a really awesome building. Ex French president Charles de Gaulle proclaimed his. Famous speech from its balcony, so much history.

The columned neoclassical building erected in 1926 as the city's main criminal court is today the home of the Québec Court of Appeal. The building had served as a music conservatory for 32 years, starting in 1970. Its massive bronze doors are richly carved and the vast main hall has dome-shape skylights and travertine facing. Métro: Champ-de-Mars.
