Place D'Youville, Historical square in Old Montreal, Canada
Place d'Youville features a network of pedestrian walkways constructed with wood, concrete, granite, and limestone, representing Montreal's architectural evolution over 500 years.
The square marks the location of St. Anne's Market, which served as the Parliament of Canada from 1844 until its destruction by fire in 1849.
The square's design incorporates the path of the ancient Saint-Pierre river, where Montreal's first European settlers arrived in 1642.
The 15,000-square-meter space connects visitors to museums, offices, restaurants, and residences through integrated pathways and benches.
The square's renovation between 1997 and 2008 used black materials and scorched earth elements to commemorate the burned parliament building.
