It’s really beautiful. Amazing 🤩
John “Jackie” McAlhaney
Beautiful large mural on wall. Located in old town Quebec and near the Venicular.
Reza Sattarzadeh Nowbari
This mural at the heart of the old quarter of Quebec City shows the four season and a number of famous characters from Quebec City. These characters both belong to centuries ago and the recent times. It's probably one of the most photographed spots in the city after the famous hotel. It attracts lots of people but you can manage to get a shot with the mural.
