The Croix du Mont-Royal is a monumental cross located at the summit of Mount Royal in Montreal. Erected in 1924, it stands as a symbol of the city alongside landmarks such as Notre-Dame Basilica and Saint Joseph's Oratory. Originally established in 1643 by Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve, the current cross was constructed through community efforts. It is illuminated at night and changes colors for special occasions. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Montreal from this iconic site, which also serves as a pilgrimage destination. The area is accessible year-round, with no admission fees.
