Cathedral-Basilica Of Notre-Dame De Quebec
The Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame de Quebec (Notre-Dame de Quebec Cathedral-Basilica) is in Old Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, on June 23, 2025. The Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame de Quebec serves as the primatial church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Quebec. It stands as the oldest church in Canada and was the first church in Canada to be elevated to the rank of minor basilica by Pope Pius IX in 1874. Four governors of New France and the bishops of Quebec are buried in the crypt, including Francois de Laval, Quebec's first bishop. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
