Mount Royal, Mountain in Montreal, Canada
Mount Royal rises 233 meters above Montreal, featuring extensive walking paths, forested areas, and scenic observation points overlooking the city landscape.
Frederick Law Olmsted designed Mount Royal Park in 1876, transforming the natural mountain into an accessible green space for Montreal residents.
The Mount Royal Chalet displays large paintings illustrating Montreal history, while Smith House presents permanent exhibitions about the mountain environment.
Visitors access Mount Royal through multiple entrances, with parking areas near Beaver Lake and the Smith House providing convenient starting points for exploration.
The illuminated cross at the summit, installed in 1924, represents a promise made by Montreal founder Maisonneuve during the floods of 1643.
