Martello tower<br> Sightseeing in Québec City picture - (portrayed as a digital watercolour) The next looming threat to Quebec was an expected American invasion. Four of these towers were built on the Plains before the War of 1812 as protection. The development of cannon with rifled barrels rendered them obsolete. Three remain, and this one is open to visitors.
