Sillery Heritage Site, Historic district in Quebec City, Canada.

The Sillery Heritage Site extends along 3.5 kilometers of Saint Lawrence River shoreline, containing 350 buildings that reflect Quebec's architectural development through centuries.

The site originated in 1637 when Noël Brûlart de Sillery and Jesuit missionaries established the Saint-Joseph Mission to serve First Nations communities.

The collection of 629 heritage properties includes the Jesuit House of Sillery, wooden baron villas, and institutional structures that showcase Quebec's social evolution.

Visitors access the heritage site through guided tours that explain the historical significance of structures like Villa Bagatelle and Saint-Michel de Sillery Church.

The area transformed from Canada's first Indian reserve into a residential district featuring mansions like Cataraqui, which now serves as Quebec's official residence for international visitors.
