Following the fire of 1881 that destroyed the original 1847 Saint-Jean Church (and almost the entire district), the current building was constructed in 1884. The church, copied from two medieval French designs, features a 73-meter (240-foot) spire which towers high above the surrounding neighbourhood. The scale of the church is impressive, and the ornate decorations include dozens of statues, paintings, marble furniture pieces and 36 stained-glass windows. Guided tours are offered during the summer. Address: 410, rue Saint-Jean Québec QC G1R 1P4
