Saint-Jacques Cathedral, Former cathedral in Ville-Marie, Canada
The Saint-Jacques Cathedral stands at the intersection of Saint-Denis and Sainte-Catherine streets, featuring an 85-meter spire and a preserved transept.
Built in 1825 as Montreal's Roman Catholic cathedral, the structure endured multiple fires in 1852, 1858, and 1933 before becoming part of a university.
The cathedral's transformation from a religious center to an educational facility reflects the evolution of Montreal's institutional landscape over two centuries.
The building connects directly to Berri-UQAM metro station through an underground passage, making it accessible for visitors throughout the year.
The cathedral's spire and transept remain as architectural elements within the Pavillon Judith-Jasmin of the Université du Québec à Montréal.
