Apart from the Frontenac, one of the dominating features of the Quebec City skyline is the Citadelle. Begun by the French in 1750, it took 30 years until completion - by the British. The Citadelle is home to the Canadian Royal 22's. The regiment has served in both world wars and the Korean War. Inside the Citadelle Walls houses a museum which outlines the Regiments' history, including a display on its' mascot - a goat (there is an actual 'taxidermed' goat in the museum!). You will also note that the Regiments uniform has much in common with that of the British, and that for 'official' duties the goats' horns are painted gold.
