The Main, Historic district along Saint Laurent Boulevard in Montreal, Canada.
The Main extends for 6 kilometers through Montreal, from La Commune Street in the south to Jean-Talon Street in the north.
Since the late 1800s, The Main has served as an entry point for multiple waves of immigrants arriving in Montreal from different countries.
The district contains distinct sections including Chinatown, Jewish quarter, Portuguese neighborhood, and Little Italy, each representing different cultural communities.
Several metro stations and bus lines provide access to The Main, which crosses through Ville-Marie, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, and Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie boroughs.
The architectural landscape features grey Montreal stone facades and brick walls, with numerous small factories, shops, theaters, and restaurants.
