A Church So Pretty You Have To Pay To Enter (Montreal’s Notre-Dame Basilica)

Ranked the 6th* most beautiful building in the world, it is impossible to not be awed by the glorious interior of Montreal's famous Notre-Dame Basilica. Completed in 1829, it was the largest church at the time in all of North America and remains to this day Canada's most famous church, attracting a staggering 11 million visitors every year.

DISCOVER MONTRÉAL:

It is awesome to see it in real life I went last month when I went to Montreal the most beautiful church in the world.

[Freedom_Fighter]

Visiting next month with my nephew....we are so excited to visit...both day and night!

[RichardWarren-oz]

i went to montreal in my early twenties and now i'm 75 the bacillica is still exactly as I saw it over 50 years ago beautifull and magnificent a wonder full piece of architecture

[mathu]

It's a beautiful Church but there's also the Saint-Joseph Oratory, something about it being on top of the hill and the stairs that lead up to the Church make it very special for me.

Another famous religious site in Quebe is the Ste-Anne Basilica in Beaupré near Quebec City. This is a site of pligrimage to Ste-Anne. The Basilica actually contains two churches in the same building; a grand expansive one on the first floor and a second in the basement. Be sure to visit both. The one in the basement is dedicated to the first nations people of Canada.

Just so you know: Montreal _has_ pretty things, and has picturesque areas. But other parts look like... a 21st century city. With extra pot holes & orange cones. And more traffic than road lanes.

Notre-Dame Basilica is amazing... Obviously not as big as the great cathedrals of Europe but a true master piece.

[roseclaur]

Gorgeous ❤, I've been once, definitely I'm coming back

Literally days ago I had just found out that before the fire the Notre-Dame cathedral was the most visited building in Europe with 12 million people every year. I thought at the time that our own Notre-Dame might have two or three million visitors per year until I learned in this magnificent video that it actually has almost as many as Paris with 11 million visitors. That's incredible. It must be a mistake because I can't believe it even though I know it's true.

I don't particularly agree with people saying Montreal is so like Europe. In my view Montreal is better, cleaner, more contrasting than most European Cities. Montreal, Quebec, and Canada are beyond Europe, they are Canada which is a truly great achievement in North America and the world. We don't need the contrast, come see that Montreal is better.

The entire World is deeply Hungry for Jesus Christ.

[debrarouselle]

Been there a few times as we grew up 2 miles from the border in Chateaugay NY.
Didn’t cost back then, still beautiful.

[rioriggs]

Montreal is getting cooler every day! Surprise concert by TALK this afternoon in Quartier des Spectacles!

[johnmckillop]

I wish they had the liturgy to match it

[D.N.A.]

It’s beautiful, but as a Christian, I would like to know what is being taught there

[debrarouselle]

Old Montreal is beautiful. Sad that many there won’t speak to English speaking folks rather rude.

[castlerock]

Doing a light show is incredibly tacky.

[apscoradiales]

No matter how pretty or ugly, one should NEVER EVER have to pay to enter the House of Our Lord!
Remember what Jesus said to the "money traders"?
Just to remind the people, "My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves."
Whoever ordered this should be ashamed of themselves.
There will be a price to pay for this gross sin.

[charleythadog]

Its free just state youd ljke to go inside to pray.😅

[deanweightman]

these are tartarian structures, from the 1000 years of CHRISTS REIGN .
