Tour de la Banque Royale

The Royal Bank Tower rises 121 meters with 22 floors, featuring a grand limestone facade and classical architectural details at 360 Saint-Jacques Street.

The building served as the Royal Bank headquarters from 1928 to 1962, standing as the tallest structure in the British Empire upon its completion.

The interior includes a monumental banking hall designed like a Roman civil basilica, decorated with marble, polychrome plaster coffers, and gilded bronze elements.

The building contains eight elevators and spans 344,400 square feet across multiple floors, now housing various commercial and office spaces.

The elevator doors display allegorical panels depicting Canadian economic activities, while the exterior combines Florentine Renaissance and Gothic influences.
