Wolfe-Montcalm Monument, Commemorative obelisk in Old Quebec, Canada.
The stone monument features an obelisk design rising 20.1 meters high with inscribed marble plaques and names of two generals on its sides.
Built in 1828 as the oldest memorial in Quebec City, the monument honors Generals Wolfe and Montcalm who died during the Battle of Plains of Abraham.
Latin inscriptions on white marble plates highlight the shared fate of British General Wolfe and French General Montcalm during the decisive 1759 battle.
Located at the entrance of Governors Garden facing Dufferin Terrace, the monument underwent complete reconstruction between 2010 and 2011.
During the 2010 restoration, workers discovered a time capsule containing artifacts dating from 1821 to 1860 within the monument structure.
