In the vicinity of the city lies the legendary Fort Bastille. The path to this ancient fort itself will be an unforgettable adventure. It is located on the top of a hill where tourists are picked up by a funicular. From its transparent cockpit, there is a splendid view of the city. At the top of the hill you can admire the ancient fortifications built of a huge stone, and also visit several excellent viewing platforms.
An interesting landmark is the ancient St. Roch Cemetery, which was founded and consecrated in the early 19th century. Many outstanding cultural figures and political leaders are buried in this cemetery. The place where the cemetery is located is very symbolic; in the 15th century the first chapel was built here.
