“Lieu historique national des Forts-de-Lévis is a series of three forts located on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River in Lévis, Quebec. The British Army built the first fort from 1865 to 1872. Lieu historique national des Forts-de-Lévis was designed to protect Quebec City against an American invasion. The site reflected the historical significance of the French and British governments when Quebec played a decisive role in the colony's defence. Fort No. 1 is one of the three forts attesting to the remarkable technological innovations of the time. Guided tours of the casemates, underground chambers, and tunnels are offered, and tourists can take self-guided tours of the outer defences, overhead cranes, powder magazines, median, and captioners. This landmark affords free admission for young people aged 17 and under.”
