L'hôtel de Ville de Québec / Québec City Hall
des Jésuites, l’hôtel de ville est un édifice imposant
dont l’aménagement permit de loger facilement les
nombreux services municipaux durant plusieurs années.
C’est aux architectes Georges-E. Tanguay et Alfred-N.

et la riche décoration de l’intérieur en font l’un des
hôtels de ville les plus intéressants au Canada.
