Saint-Roch Church (Quebec City)

The mall has since been demolished and today the church is at the heart of the revitalisation of the neighbourhood.

[4] As the neighbourhood increased in population and activity, a newer, bigger church was needed, one that suited the new centre of Quebec City.

The steel-framed building is clad in black granite from nearby Rivière-à-Pierre and has two 45 metre steeples.

[6] Inside is artisanal work, for example fine carpentry and sculpture in the oak furnishing, mosaic in the marble altar, and ironwork.

[5] The church contains masterpieces, including the Vision de Saint Roch by Jacques Blanchard, La Sainte Famille pendant la fuite en Égypte by Hyacinthe Collin de Vermont, and two paintings by Antoine Plamondon.
