In the cervical and thoracic area of your spine.

The cervical vertebrae starts right under your skull (following what's called the occipital foramen/foramen magnum). There are 7 cervical verterbrae and they end aproximatively under your neck (in the place where you feel a small circular prominence).

Right under there are the thoracic vertebrae, in the number of 12.

They end, let's say, at the upper part of your lower back.
