Fort Saint-Jean

Fort Saint-Jean is a historic military fort located at the entrance of the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada. Built by the French in the early 18th century, it served as a strategic defense and supply hub during colonial conflicts. Over time, it played roles in British and Canadian history, including military operations and governing the region. Today, Fort Saint-Jean is part of the Citadelle of Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and functions as a cultural and military museum, preserving its historic significance and offering insights into the region’s colonial and military heritage.
