Attractions
Oases of greenery in the very heart of Montréal, Dorchester Square and Place du Canada are lined by heritage churches and superb buildings, old and new. On the north side of René-Lévesque Boulevard, Dorchester Square was formerly the site of the Montréal Catholic Cemetery, between 1799 and 1854. Offering an impressive Victorian-style fountain, two arched metal and wood footbridges, a meticulously restored old vespasienne, benches and walkways to relax, the Square is a popular spot at lunchtime in particular, attracting hundreds of people each day.
