Champ de Mars, Montreal, Public park in Old Montreal, Canada
The Champ de Mars extends across a rectangular space featuring preserved stone fortification walls and paved pathways between Montreal City Hall and the courthouses.
The grounds served as a military parade area until the early 1800s when the original city fortifications were dismantled to allow urban expansion.
The site maintains exposed archaeological remnants of Montreal's colonial fortifications, which were uncovered during the park's restoration in 1992.
Visitors can reach the park directly through the Champ-de-Mars Metro station, with multiple entry points along Saint-Antoine Street and Notre-Dame Street.
The foundations of Montreal's defensive walls remain visible through glass panels integrated into the park's modern design, displaying three centuries of urban evolution.
