Montreal City Hall
Montreal City Hall, City hall in Old Montreal, Canada
Montreal City Hall is a Second Empire municipal building located in Old Montreal's historic center. It features symmetrical stone facades, detailed stonework, and mansard roofs that rise prominently above Notre-Dame Street East.
The building was completed in 1878 under architect Henri-Maurice Perrault and became Montreal's administrative center. Over the decades, it evolved into a symbol of the city's municipal institutions and political life.
The building serves as a gathering place where Montrealers connect with their city's governance and public life. Inside, exhibition spaces tell the story of how municipal decisions shaped the neighborhoods and communities we see today.
The building sits directly on Notre-Dame Street in the heart of Old Montreal and is easy to reach on foot. You can admire the exterior anytime, and it's worth asking locally about current access to interior exhibitions or viewing opportunities.
The council chamber inside features ornate wooden panels that were meticulously restored using historical methods and original design plans. This careful reconstruction preserves the craftsmanship that went into the space when it was first built.
