The Sillery Heritage Site (French: site patrimonial de Sillery) is an area containing historic residences and institutional properties located in the Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge borough of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It was the first of 13 declared heritage sites (French: sites patrimoniaux déclarés) of the Province of Quebec, and is among the four of which are located in Quebec City.[3][6][7][8] Having been called the "cradle of the French Canadian nation," the heritage site includes approximately 350 buildings along 3.5 kilometres (2.175 miles) of the Saint Lawrence River shoreline.[5][9][10] The Sillery Heritage Site includes buildings constructed during every major period of Quebec's history, dating back to the time of New France.
