Exterior and interior views of the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Québec, in the Saint-Jean-Baptiste neighborhood of Quebec City.
A large fire in June 1881 destroyed the Faubourg Saint-Jean and its church that had stood on the grounds in this neighborhood of the Haute-Ville. The new, larger church that was built to replace it was inspired by the Trinité de Paris, while retaining a typically Québécois aspect. It was designated a historical monument by the province in 1990.
