the Gibraltar of America

Often called "the Gibraltar of America," this  fort is located on Cap-aux-Diamants, overlooking the St Lawrence River. Manned to this day by traditionally-dressed troops who perform the changing of the guard every day at 10am during the summer, the Citadel also has a museum of Quebec's military history and the story of the Royal 22nd Regiment. Local tour guides lead visitors on a one-hour tour through 250 years of Quebec's tumultuous past.
