NOTRE-DAME DE QUÉBEC BASILICA- CATHEDRAL

Located in the heart of Old Quebec, a UNESCO’s World Heritage site, the Basilica-Cathedral Notre-Dame de Québec proudly stands as North Ameri-ca’s first Cathedral, having become the cradle of French civilization and of the Catholic faith in the New World north of the Spanish colonies. Many artists and renowned architects have worked on this magnificent build-ing, which houses a spectacular baldachin created by Baillargé, beautiful stained glass windows designed by Meyer of Munich and Champigneulle of Paris and three majestic Casavant organs. The Basilica-Cathedral also houses the tomb of Saint François de Laval, who was canonized by Pope Francis on April 3, 2014. Visitors will also find a crypt where more than a thousand people were buried, including Governor Frontenac and many bishops, archbishops and cardinals. Because of its role in spreading Cathol-icism in North America, Notre-Dame de Québec was authorized by the Holy See to build the first Holy Door outside of Europe, only the seventh in the world. The Holy Door is an object of piety, attracting pilgrims and visitors from around the world. The Holy Door will reopen again during the Catholic Church Holy Years, which takes place about every 25 years.
