Place d'Armes is an urban park in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It is bounded by Rue Saint-Anne to the north, Fort Street to the east, Rue Saint-Louis to the south and Rue du Trésor to the west. The park's name means a place of arms, which is the gathering place of a small troop and a central space hosting the important ceremonies of military life. The park has a monument, part of a fountain (erected in 1915), in its centre. The park was created between 1640 and 1648 by Governor Charles Jacques Huault de Montmagny. It became a public park in 1865. The Château Frontenac overlooks the square from the south, and the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity from the west.
