Champ-de-Mars

A Fortified Place


Family Time Must See

Address:
Rue St Antoine E
(directly behind City Hall, west of Gosford)
Montreal, QC H2Y 1C6

Description

Located behind City Hall, this huge public space is a good place to relax, get a great view of downtown, and check out the remains of the old fortifications that surrounded the new city. Though the fortifications themselves were demolished in the 1820s as the city outgrew them, you can still see the pieces in the shape of two lines of stone. It is a fine vantage point from which to view City Hall.
