Place d'Armes Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Although the Plaza de Armas covers a small area, it is called the heart of Old Montreal because it was the center of the development and prosperity of Montreal in the past. When the Plaza de Armas was first established in 1693, it was called the Plaza de la Armée because Montreal was known for its fur business in its early years, and it was renamed Place de Armas in 1721 because it mainly traded in arms. A market for hay and lumber from 1781 to 1813, the Plaza de Armas underwent several changes over the centuries until it developed into what we see today in 1960.

Speaking of weapons square, many tourists are not familiar, but mentioning the Notre Dame Cathedral in Montreal, almost no one knows it, and this well-known church is located in weapons square, so it is actually a popular attraction.
The first time I passed by, I thought it was the auxiliary building of the Cathedral of Our Lady. After a circle of navigation, I found that I was back. In fact, the weapons square was at the entrance of the cathedral. I looked carefully and saw that the statues had different weapons in their hands. It belongs to a lively area, and there are many specialty shops around.
This square is located in the old town, not far from the old port, next to the Cathedral of Notre Dame. In the center of the square is the famous Masonnov statue. This is a French officer and he built Montreal. The square is not big, surrounded by high-rise buildings, it feels very lively and bustling. The square is nearly 400 years old.
What I love about this square is that it has completely different styles on all four sides at least three of them will soon be in my mind. On one side there is a Gothic cathedral full of Notre Dame. I would like to walk over and see it even if I have to pay. Opposite the square is a classical building - Bank of Montreal. On the other side are Art Deco and Art Nouveau hotel buildings and office buildings. I can't remember exactly what building is on the fourth side, but I remember the statue and fountain in the center of the square are beautiful day and night. It always looks like an active hive whenever I walk past. If possible, please look up and look around.
