Place des Nations, Amphitheatre in Ville-Marie, Canada.
The Place des Nations features concrete structures with a central courtyard, stage area, low platform with terrace, and triangular monument.
The amphitheatre, designed by architect André Blouin in 1963, served as a central gathering space during the Montreal World Exhibition of 1967.
During Expo 67, the space hosted diplomatic ceremonies and artistic performances from participating nations, representing international cooperation and exchange.
The venue accommodates 7,000 standing visitors and 2,500 seated guests, with direct access from Saint Helen's Island public transportation points.
The site received heritage status in 2007 as part of Saint Helen's Island, marking its role in Montreal's architectural and cultural development.

The Expo 67 left multiple structures in Montreal. The Biosphere, the Habitat 67 residential complex and the Casino in the former Quebec Pavilion demonstrate the World Fair's influence on the city's architecture. The La Ronde amusement park and Alexander Calder's Three Disks art installation remain as preserved elements of this international exhibition.
