Mount-Royal Belvedere

Mount Royal is a gem of Montreal's heritage. Its landscapes, flora, fauna and history make it an exceptional place to visit. Crowned with three summits, the emblematic site affectionately known as “the mountain” covers 10 km2 at the heart of Montréal. Mount Royal is home to residential areas, several of the city’s founding institutions, vast cemeteries, neighborhood parks and the magnificent 200-hectare Mount Royal Park. Having acknowledged the importance of protecting its natural and cultural qualities, municipal authorities and the Government of Quebec declared Mount Royal a heritage site.
