Wolfe-Montcalm Monument, Commemorative obelisk in Old Quebec, Canada.

The Wolfe-Montcalm Monument is a stone obelisk rising from the entrance of Governors Garden near Dufferin Terrace in Old Quebec City. The structure stands approximately 20 meters tall with names and inscriptions carved on its faces.

The monument was built in 1828 and stands as the oldest memorial in Quebec City. It was created to remember two generals from opposing armies who fell during the same battle in 1759.

The Latin inscriptions on white marble plaques tell a shared story of two generals whose names are carved on opposite sides of the obelisk. Visitors reading these texts can understand how two opposing leaders are remembered together in this place.

The monument sits in an easily accessible spot right at the entrance of Governors Garden with views toward Dufferin Terrace. The area is straightforward to find and offers a natural stopping point while exploring Old Quebec.

The Latin inscription on the obelisk was composed by John Charlton Fisher; its translation reads that the two generals' courage gave them a common death, history a common fame and posterity a common memorial. The monument was whitewashed sometime after 1987, and its architect, Captain John Crawford Young of the 79th Highlanders, was still a captain in 1817 and a major by 1833.
