Visit the Notre Dame Basilica of Montreal

Posted: August 31st, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Travel | Tags: | No Comments »

One of the amazing sites to visit while spending time in Montreal Canada is the Notre Dame Basilica. It has been a wonderful way to see the historical significance of many treasures that are kept in the crypt of the building. The Notre Dame Basilica of Montreal is the second church that was built in this area. There was an earlier Catholic church that was built earlier close to the same spot.

Visitors of the Montreal hotels enjoy taking the tours of the crypt because they learn so much about the church and the city as a whole. The Church itself is a wonderful Gothic Revival style with its ornate decor and classic statues. Because of the history of the area archaeologists have had a great time finding many artifacts that tell the story of the city above.

Check with your downtown hotel for information on getting to the Basilica and arranging for a tour. It is exquisite. Learn about the many historical events that have taken place in this beautiful church as well as how it interacted with the city of Montreal. If you are Catholic you may want to see if you can get sponsored to attend a service. It would be an amazing experience.
