Lower Town (Basse-Ville)

Present-day Rue de la Barricade (Street) is one of the few sites where the December 1775 American attack on Quebec City is commemorated. Benedict Arnold was defeated by British troops and local militia and was eventually repulsed to the US border days before the July 4th Declaration of Independence.
