Ville-Marie was named the “Neighbourhood of the future” in the 1960s and has been iconic ever since. An aggregate of the trendiest stores, venues and restaurants, it’s no wonder the area consistently attracts crowds of tourists and native Montrealers alike. Ville-Marie also boasts a growing collection of some of the most impressive modern buildings on the island, complemented by rich historical architecture and monuments. It’s the heart of Montreal for a reason!

The Canadian Centre for Architecture is a national architectural hub, producing research, exhibitions and publications, while also providing unparalleled access to their library for research and academic purposes. The CCA is even more exceptional by virtue of its having been strategically built in order to incorporate the Shaughnessy House, thus saving it from demolition. Over 100 years separate the ornate Golden Square Mile home from the sleek concrete museum, making the CCA a time-travelling property (of sorts).
