23 Best Things to Do in Montreal
"The majestic Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal, one of the world’s great Catholic basilicas, was founded by Saint Brother André, who is credited with thousands of miraculous healings. More than 2 million people visit the pilgrimage site each year (both religious and non-religious), and its dome is the third-largest of its kind in the world after the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro in Côte d'Ivoire and Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. It's without question one of Montreal's most impressive architectural jewels. Saint Joseph's Oratory inspires somber reflection and spirit-lifting awe, so much so that it is popular with pilgrims and non-religious visitors alike." - Todd Plummer
