In the historical district, you’ll discover the remains of the old
walled city, narrow winding streets dating back to the French
colony, superb public squares, majestic Victorian buildings from
the 18th and 19th centuries and, finally, the very first skyscrapers in
Canada, in the heart of what was then the downtown core of the
country’s capital.
Welcome to Old Montréal!
Montréal was founded on May 17, 1642.
With a handful of settlers, soldiers, artisans and farmers, Paul
de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve, and Lady Jeanne Mance
founded the Ville-Marie missionary centre at Pointe-à-Callière,
which would later become Montréal.

Marché Bonsecours

Inaugurated in 1847 and a
testimony to the Classical Revival
style in vogue at the time, the
Bonsecours Market served as
city hall until 1878. Completely
restored, it now houses trendy
designer boutiques.

Montréal’s birthplace
Very rarely can a city identify its
exact place of birth, but Montréal
can! And the tangible remnants
of the founding of this city are
still accessible to the public.
Frequented by American Indians
for over 2,500 years, today this
place is called Place D’Youville.
Built at the beginning of the 19th century, this marketplace, dominated by a
monument to Admiral Nelson, quickly became – and still is today – one of
the liveliest spots in the city.

Saint-Paul Street
The oldest street in Montréal
is home to many art galleries,
boutiques, restaurants and
cafés. Its authentic cobblestone
pavement and magnificent facades
are a must-see!
Old Seminary
The Old Sulpician Seminary is
the oldest building still standing
in Montréal (1684). It served as a
residence for the Sulpicians, the
seigneurs of Montréal in the 17th
and 18th centuries.

OLD MONTRÉAL
SHOPPING
GALLERY
Montréal is one of the rare major North
American cities to have preserved its
historical centre.
In the heart of the historical
district, Place d’Armes offers an
excellent overview of all periods
in the history of Montréal: from
the city’s oldest building to the
church of its very first parish, from
the head office of the country’s
first bank (Bank of Montréal)
to Canada’s first skyscraper,
the New York Life building.
Inaugurated in 1888, this building
had an elevator to go up its eight
floors… quite the novelty
at the time!
Denis Tremblay
City Hall
275 Notre-Dame Street East
Montréal’s City Hall was built between 1872 and 1878. Completely destroyed
by a fire in 1922, it was subsequently rebuilt. It was from this building’s
balcony that the president of France, General Charles de Gaulle, proclaimed
his famous “Vive le Québec libre!” in 1967.
