Experts' Choice Award Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral
What the experts agree on
This scaled-down replica of Rome's St. Peter's Basilica impresses with its neoclassical design and ornate gold-leaf baldachin inside, making it Montreal's most architecturally ambitious cathedral.
“The choice of whether to build a church following a Gothic Revival or neoclassical design involved more than just aesthetics in 19th-century Québec.”
