Summary
| Description |
Perched atop the heights of Point Lévy, Fort No. 1 was the last in a chain of three forts built under the supervision of British military engineers between 1865 and 1872. These forts completed the defence network protecting Québec against any future land invasion by the Americans. Since 1855, a railway had linked Lévis to Maine. The rolling bridge could be retracted into the fort. Fort No. 1 is higher than the Citadel in Québec, in fact it is the highest point in the region and provides a panoramic view of Québec, Île d'Orléans and Côte-de-Beaupré. This star-shaped fort was opened to the public in 1982. Today it houses a multimedia exhibition depicting its history. Levis, Quebec, Canada |
