Montreal is named after Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill in the heart of the city.
The second largest city in Canada, it is a city rich in culture and history and a well-deserved reputation as one of the liveliest cities in North America.
Montreal is the second-largest French-speaking (as a mother language) city in the world, behind Paris.
The most unique and attractive architecture is the Biosphere, the former pavilion of the United States for the 1967 World Fair, Expo 67. In August, 1990, Environment Canada purchased the site for $17.5 million to turn it into an interactive museum showcasing and exploring the water ecosystems of the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence River regions.
Notre-Dame Basilica is a basilica in the historic district. The church's Gothic Revival architecture is among the most dramatic in the world; its interior is grand and colorful, its ceiling is colored deep blue and decorated with golden stars, and the rest of the sanctuary is a poly-chrome of blues, azures, reds, purples, silver, and gold. It is filled with hundreds of intricate wooden carvings and several religious statues.
