Sunday Stamps II - 154

1972, Canada, Quebec City
designer: Reinhard Derreth

Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America and has the only remaining fortified wall north of Mexico. Vieux Québec is a Unesco World Heritage Site. One of its most prominent buildings, shown here on the stamp, is the grand railway hotel, the Chateau Frontenac. Quebec has always been a capital city, from its earliest settlement in New France to Lower Canada to the Province of Quebec.

    Old railway hotels are always built with such impressive style.

    A very pretty city, I remember from my trip to Canada in the 90ies.
    I didn't know that it is UNESCO world heritage, great to protect the nice old city by this.
