One of Montreal’s most acclaimed architectural structures is undoubtedly the Notre-Dame Basilica. The 19th-century church, which rises from Place d’Armes, is stately from the outside, but its claim to fame is its vibrant interior. Decorated by Montreal architect Victor Bourgeau in the late 1800s, the basilica’s inside is brilliantly colorful, with blue-and-gold vaulted ceilings, ornately decorated carvings and vivid touches in every corner. From an architectural perspective, the Notre-Dame Basilica is also notable as being the first Gothic Revival-style church in Canada.
