 Landmark twin towers |
110 Notre-Dame Street West (At Place d'Armes) Montreal, QC H2Y 1T1 Canada +1 514 842 2925 http://www.basiliquenddm.org/ |
Notre-Dame's twin towers have served as an Old Montreal landmark since the neo-Gothic basilica was finished in 1829. Today they continue to be the focal point, where tourists disgorge from buses and calèche drivers line up for passengers. The interior glows with gilded statuary and gold-leafed fleurs de lys, and is home to one of the largest pipe organs in the world. The Montreal Symphony Orchestra performs its Christmas production of Messiah here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Montreal's Anglican cathedral |
1444 Union Avenue (At St Catherine & University) Montreal, QC H3A 2B8 Canada +1 514 843 6577 http://www.montreal.anglican.o... |
Completed in 1859, this beautifully restored neo-Gothic edifice is the home of the Anglican church in Montreal. 'Secular' attractions inside include a painting of the Last Supper rescued from the cathedral's original location and a magnificent organ, which attracts musicians from far and wide.

St Peter's replica |
1085 de la Cathedrale Street (René-Lévesque Blvd W and Mansfield St) Montreal, QC H3B 2V3 Canada +1 514 866 1661 |
This church, designed by Quebec architect Victor Bourgeau and built between 1870 and 1894, is an exact one-third replica of St Peter's Basilica in Rome. Set among the bleak skyscrapers of downtown, it makes a particularly striking sight. The 13 floodlit statues along its top are of Montreal's own patron saints. In the Mortuary Chapel can be found the final resting places for the city's bishops and archbishops, alongside a recumbent statue of Monseigneur Ignace Bourget, the church's founder.

The sailor's church |
400 St-Paul St E (Near St-Denis) Montreal, QC H2Y 1H4 Canada +1 514 282 8670 |
Thanks to the "Our Lady of the Harbour" statue atop its dome, made famous by poet-songwriter Leonard Cohen, this chapel is known as "The Sailor's Church." Inside are original Édouard Meloche (1886) frescoes on wooden slats, and you can look out over the Old Port from an observation tower. The chapel underwent extensive renovations as well as archaeological excavation. The new interpretation centre includes artifacts pre-dating the arrival of the New France colonists in 1642. Admission to the chapel is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Important spiritual centre |
3800 Queen Mary Road (Near Côte-des-Neiges) Montreal, QC H3V 1H6 Canada +1 514 733 8211 http://www.saint-joseph.org/ |
This is recognized as one of the great spiritual centres of the world and attracts more than two million visitors a year. Many are simply curious, but some pilgrims climb the steps of the Oratory on their knees, hoping that God will answer their prayers. The Oratory's magnificent copper dome, which can be seen for miles around, is second in size only to St Peter's. Inside, it contains a basilica, the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrement, Brother André's tomb and two museums in his honour. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Magnificent Victorian gem |
1101 Stanley Street (Near de la Gauchetière) Montreal, QC H3B 2S6 Canada +1 514 866 7113 http://www.st-georges.org/ |
Now standing in the ultramodern shadow of the IBM building, this striking neo-Gothic church was completed in 1843. Though the bells are no longer in use, the impressive and unusual clock still tells impeccable time in the bell tower. The interior contains many interesting and beautiful innovations: an open concept space without support columns, intricate woodwork and an architecturally revolutionary roof structure. This church is a wonderful example of downtown Montreal's combination of old and new architecture. Review © 2007, Wcities |
