 | | For half a century, the twin-towered, Gothic Revival basilica was the biggest church in North America, and it remains a Montreal landmark despite the proliferation of skyscrapers. |
 | | Completed in 1705 as the home of Claude de Ramezay, the 11th governor of Montreal, it was successively the headquarters of the Compagnie des Indes, the great fur-trading company, then the residence of the British governor-general. |
 | | Full of displays on all aspects of Montreal’s past, its 11 rooms evoke the texture of urban life as you ride a trolley, climb up one of the city’s famous outside staircases, or eavesdrop in a 1940s living room. |
