Tour Martello 2 - Quebec, Quebec, Canada - Martello Towers on Waymarking.com

À l’angle des avenues Taché et Wilfrid-Laurier, est située la tour Martello 2.

Cette construction est un ouvrage avancé par rapport aux fortifications de la ville. Elle fait partie d’un ensemble de quatre tours érigées entre 1808 et 1812, afin de défendre la ville contre une possible invasion américaine. Le mode de construction des tours Martello reprend un modèle utilisé en Angleterre, vers 1804, afin de défendre les côtes contre l’armée française de Napoléon.

Aujourd’hui, la tour Martello 2 reçoit des groupes d’enfants, d’adultes et de retraités. Ces groupes y vivent des activités originales reliées à la thématique de la tour. Dans un décor d’époque, ils ont droit à un conseil de guerre, à l’enrôlement, aux châtiments, aux corvées, aux loisirs, etc. Sans oublier la dégustation du repas du soldat ou de l’officier.
