Place d'Youville

Pioneer tribute

Between St-Pierre St and McGill Street
(At St-Laurent)
Montreal, QC H2Y 3T1

This site has both historical and archaeological significance, as it was built over the St-Pierre riverbed, near Montreal's original fortifications. An obelisk reminds visitors of the pioneers who came here to start new lives. Nearby can be found a whole slew of historical buildings, including part of the old Grey Nuns Hospital dating to 1693, the Beaux-Arts style Grand Trunk building, and the Montreal History Centre, which is a great place to kick off a tour of the area.
