It is the second largest city in Quebec, behind [[Montreal]]. It is known for its winter fair, beautiful churches, and an old hotel called [[Château Frontenac]]. It is next to the [[Saint Lawrence River]]. There are almost 700,000 people in the whole area. The city was created in 1608 at a [[First Nations]] (native) Canadian place called Stadacona. People came from France to live there. The English captured the city in 1759 during the [[Battle of the Plains of Abraham]]. The walls made to keep the city safe are still there. The walls that surrounded Old Quebec are the only remaining fortified city walls that still exist in the Americas north of Mexico. They were declared a [[World Heritage Site]] by UNESCO in 1985.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/300|accessdate=2013-06-23|title=Historic District of Old Québec|publisher=UNESCO}}</ref> Quebec City has a humid [[continental climate]] (''Dfb'' in the [[Köppen climate classification]]).
