The old Post Office building in Old Quebec is still a dominant structure in the city and the dome on the top of the tower is easily visible from most places in the city. The clock still works in the tower and a Canadian flag flies proudly above the city.

The old quarter of Quebec is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, meaning it is looked after by the International World Heritage Programme as a site that is important to the heritage of humanity.
