🇨🇦 Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral | Old Quebec’s Crown Jewe

Nestled in the heart of Old Quebec, this *17th-century masterpiece* isn’t just a church—it’s a living museum of art, history, and faith. 🌟 Why Visit? North America’s Oldest Catholic Parish (founded 1647). Resting Place of Samuel de Champlain (Quebec’s founder!) and Bishop François de Montmorency. Breathtaking Interiors: Soaring vaults, stained-glass Bible stories, and gilded sculptures. 📸 Highlights 1️⃣ The Golden Altar – Baroque opulence that glows in candlelight. 2️⃣ Chapel of the Holy Family – Delicate frescoes hidden gem. 3️⃣ Crypt – Where history sleeps beneath your feet. Fun Fact: The original church burned twice – this version (rebuilt 1925) kept its soul (and added a 24k gold ceiling!). #QuebecCity #SacredArchitecture #HiddenHistory #TravelCanada
