 | | Founded in 1642, Montreal owes its name to Mont Royal, a hill called ‘the mountain’, around which the city has grown and which now constitutes an exceptional ensemble of historical, landscape, natural, architectural and archaeological significance. |
 | | Mount Royal Park, created by Frederick Law Olmsted and celebrating its 125th birthday in 2001, is one of the main components, along with vast 19th-century cemeteries, university campuses, pilgrimages and monasteries, hospitals, waterworks and residential neighbourhoods. |
 | | This early-1900 commercial building is currently threatened by a proposal for demolition, to make way for the construction of a new arena located in the middle of the downtown area. |
