Guided tours – The architecture of entertainment

Immerse yourself in the heart of Montreal with Héritage Montréal’s urban tours. They invite you to contemplate the remarkable architecture and rich heritage that enrich the street corners you pass every day.

The circuit “The architecture of entertainment” takes place on April 25, May 7, 16 and 28 and lasts 90 mins.

From the first French-language theatres, including the Monument National, to the gaming houses and cabarets of Montreal’s Red Light district, the eastern sector of downtown was shaped by the world of entertainment. The construction of Place des Arts confirmed the cultural character of the sector known today as the Quartier des Spectacles. Revisit the architecture of entertainment, part of the identity of this neighbourhood for more than a century.
