Montréal’s Religious Heritage: The Old City, a digital chapter taken from the guide Discovering Montréal’s Religious Heritage, is your invitation to discover all the diversity and beauty of the religious heritage of Montréal and its environs. In full colour and lavishly illustrated with magnificent photos, this one-of-a-kind guidebook reveals the secrets of an exceptionally rich heritage unequalled anywhere else in North America. <br /> This 5km tour begins in the historic district of Old Montreal and continues through the Latin Quarter, finishing in Montréal’s Centre-Sud neighbourhood. Here you’ll discover the exuberant beginnings of the Christian faith in Québec’s largest city, the founding of its first places of worship and parishes, and today’s disenchantment with the church. You’ll visit some locations that even most Montrealers don’t know, and discover an architectural, cultural and social heritage that will captivate you. <br /> Conceived for pilgrims whose journeys are prompted by their faith as well as those drawn by art, architecture, and history, Montréal’s Religious Heritage: The Old City shines a light on Montréal’s rich religious heritage, both ancient and modern. It also spotlights successfully converted religious buildings that have been given a new lease on life.
