Old Quebec (French: Vieux-Québec) is a historic district of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Composed of the Upper Town (French: Haute-Ville) and the Lower Town (French: Basse-Ville), the area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Administratively, Old Quebec is part of the district of Vieux-Québec-Cap-Blanc-Parlementaire hills in the district of La Cité-Limoilou.
The area is commonly referred to as "the old city" or "the old city of Quebec" in English. Sometimes it is also called the Latin Quarter (French: Quartier Latin), although this title refers more to the area around the Séminaire de Québec, the original site of Laval University.
During 1956, the Council of Monuments and Historic Monuments of Canada was given the authority to acquire or expropriate any "site, building or other place of national historical interest or meaning".
