Lion of Belfort, Granite monument in Downtown Montreal, Canada

The Lion of Belfort is a reclining British imperial lion sculpted by George William Hill, set on a granite base designed by Scottish-born Montreal architect Robert Findlay. It faces east toward France and the United Kingdom and measures 5.04 by 2.32 by 4.21 metres. Engraved shields on the pedestal recall events, inventions and people of Queen Victoria's reign, and a fountain rebuilt in 2009 on the original model sits in the pedestal.

The Lion of Belfort was inaugurated on May 24, 1897, and was first part of a fountain built by the Sun Life Assurance Company for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, before the Sun Life Building was constructed. Sculptor George William Hill based his lion on Frédéric Bartholdi's monument in Belfort, France, at about one-tenth scale, and architect Robert Findlay designed the granite base.

The granite pedestal carries engraved shields recalling events, inventions and people from Queen Victoria's reign, among them the first world's fair, the telephone, electric light, Dickens and Darwin. A water fountain set into the pedestal was rebuilt in 2009 on the model of the original.

The lion stands at the eastern edge of Dorchester Square, along Metcalfe Street, on the cross-axis of the square's paths. The pedestal holds a water fountain rebuilt in 2009 on the model of the original. The monument can be walked around and viewed from all sides in the open square.
