The Mural of Quebecers

Inaugurated in 1999 and painted by 12 French and Québec artists over a 9-week period, the detailed realism of the fresco is absolutely riveting. Noteworthy historical figures from different periods of Québec City's past are juxtaposed with several elements associated with architecture, geography, the seasons and cultural communities. This mural, next to Place-Royale, was painted on the wall of Maison Soumande on rue Notre-Dame at the foot of côte de la Montagne. It is one of the stops on traditional walking tours of the city.
