Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Built in 1829, the church is located opposite Placed’Armes in the old city and is the symbol of the city of Montreal. This neo-Gothic Roman Catholic religious sanctuary, its architectural style and Notre Dame in Paris can be called sisters, but in fact, it is more peculiar and spectacular in its splendid interior decoration and numerous art collections. Approaching the church, there are three towering arches on the front, each with a statue, the middle one is the statue of the Virgin surrounded by stars. On both sides of the main entrance of the church are twin towers with a height of 70 meters, and there is an ancient giant bell in North America on the west tower. The appearance of the whole church is very magnificent and solemn.

The immense architecture of Basilica is awestruck and iconic.
When I turned around in downtown Montreal, I accidentally entered a super shocking roadside church. Later, I came back to check the information and found that it was actually a representative city church in Montreal. This church, built in 1894, also symbolizes Catholicism. The architectural shape draws on the ancient Roman church of St. Peters Basilica, and although only a quarter of the area of the reference church is occupied, it is still full of grandeur. Inside, the magnificent and exquisite design is very impressive. At the entrance is a row of bronze-plated statues of saints. Next to the church is Dorchester Square and Place du Canada. After punching in the church, you can walk here. Walking in Montreal, I feel that the churches are really everywhere, and the interior design is very distinctive. Montreal is also known as the most European city in North America. In addition to the full French-style buildings and streets, A church can be seen on almost every street corner. Make graphic once described it as "the first time in my life I have seen a brick thrown at the window of a church." This historic city is worth a walk.
Wonderful place for a visit and is it 15 minute drive from downtown Montreal and the historic site is amazing it’s a great place to take your family and kids for visiting .,the working stuff is very kind and helpful
there are times when you cant go in the Cathedral, so make sure to check the free time to go in! its a must see in Montreal.
it’s very beautiful. long lineup for the show and look around inside. it’s middle of downtown. Do not take a car... the parking fee it’s up to $20 at least! If you consider go to harbour front, it’s on your way to pass by!
Magical place, a bit of Harry Potter's in Poudlalrd.
One of the most beautiful churches in the country, this is a must-see while in Montreal. The church is centrally located and easy to access.
