La citadelle qui domine la ville est un écrin de verdure et un lieu de promenades.
La ville connut ainsi, au rythme de l'accroissement de sa population quatre enceintes successives.
La ville va dès lors s'attaquer à une reconstruction intensive qui lui donnera sa physionomie actuelle : maisons bourgeoises, églises, hôtel de maître ont été construits dans un style sobre et lumineux qui allie la brique et la pierre de taille.

 Citadelle of Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Citadelle - the French name is used both in English and French - is a military installation and official residence located atop Cap Diamant, adjoining the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.
This citadel is part of the fortifications of Quebec City, the only city with extant city walls in North America.
The preservation of much of the fortifications and defences of Quebec is due to the intervention of Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava, Governor General of Canada 1872–1878, who also established the Citadelle as a vice-regal residence.

A une quinzaine de kilomètres de la ville de Cap-Haïtien, et à une journée de piste de la capitale Port-au-Prince, les hautes murailles de la citadelle Laferrière témoignent des premières années agitées d'un pays qui venait de conquérir son indépendance, le 1er janvier 1804, d'une magistrale déculottée aux troupes napoléoniennes.
La citadelle construite par le roi Christophe, gigantesque et mégalomaniaque ouvrage guerrier, avait d'ailleurs pour premier objectif de repousser une éventuelle nouvelle tentative d'invasion française.
Une poignée de ses derniers fidèles l'enterra à la va-vite dans la citadelle où, dit aujourd'hui une plaque grandiloquente, «seule la poussière impalpable de la dépouille tragique du monarque défunt frôle invisiblement les murs», toujours étranglés par les tentacules de la brume.

 Detailed Review [Cafeine - 1994 - "La Citadelle"] - ProgressoR   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
And while Delenda Est is a traditional truly progressive instrumental (with rich and diverse arrangements, time signatures, etc), playing by all the band members and showing their brilliant musicianship, La Citadelle, being a 'child' of keyboards and wind instruments, has an obvious symphonic feel with some hints to Classical Music.
All in all, "La Citadelle" is among the best progressive works released in the first half of the 1990s.
Also, despite the music of this album is quite a complex, thanks to the musicians' wonderful intuitive sense of melody "La Citadelle" will be highly appreciated not only by the mature music lovers, but by their adventurous enough Neo brothers in 'progressive reason' too.

 Richard Harvey - Discography - "Brass at la Sauve-Majeure"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
It was conceived after a visit to the famous medieval citadelle at Blaye on the Gironde Estuary.
Whereas the combined imagery of the Medoc and the military suggests the great outdoors, the piece was intended for performance in the largest and most resonant of acoustics.
Written for the second tour of The Brass of Aquitaine and London in 1982, it utilises the military theme, partly for its own sake, and partly to reflect the deep-rapted bonds that cause the English and Aquitaines to view each other with a mixture of great warmth and the deepest suspicion!
