Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Administrative sector in Trois-Rivières, Canada.

Cap-de-la-Madeleine is a sector of Trois-Rivières at the confluence of the Saint-Maurice and St. Lawrence rivers, merged into the city on 1 January 2002. It was a separate city of over 33,000 inhabitants (2006 census: 33,022). Its landmark is the Basilique Notre-Dame du Cap, dedicated to Our Lady of the Cape.

The area was founded in 1651 by Jacques de La Ferté, an abbot from France, marking the beginning of European settlement in the region. The site gradually developed into a major religious center following the construction of the basilica.

Pilgrims call the sanctuary the first pilgrimage site in North America outside Mexico; the first official pilgrimage, in 1883, brought about 150 people on foot. Devotion centres on two events held to be miracles of the Virgin Mary: the Miracle of the Ice Bridge (1879) and the Miracle of the Eyes (1888). Residents call themselves Madelinois and Madelinoise, not to be confused with Madelinots of the Îles-de-la-Madeleine.

Cap-de-la-Madeleine lies at the confluence of the Saint-Maurice and St. Lawrence rivers, now the northeastern sector of Trois-Rivières. The Notre-Dame-du-Cap sanctuary and the Rocheleau house are the main stops; the former forts of Moulin-à-Vent and Saint-François left no visible traces, their sites now residential or within the sanctuary grounds. The sector is reached by road from Trois-Rivières along the Chemin du Roy.

During World War II, the Royal Canadian Air Force operated a pilot training school here between 1940 and 1944. This military chapter left marks on the area that remain part of its local heritage today.
