La Citadelle of Québec vacation video

A ceremonial changing of the guard and the mascot of the Royal 22nd Regiment, Batisse the goat - at the Citadel. La Citadelle of Québec is the most important fortification built in Canada under British rules. It was designed according to a defence system developed by a French military engineer named Vauban and built under the supervision of Lieutenant-colonel Elias Walker Durnford. The construction of the outer walls began in 1820 and it took 30 years to finish its construction. La Citadelle is in the shape of a four-pointed polygon, with each point forming a bastion and covers 37 acres. It contains two buildings constructed by the French and numerous others very well preserved.
