# Old Montreal

Montreal, Canada

Founded in 1642 as Fort Ville-Marie, Old Montreal is the city's historic core, a quarter of cobbled streets, stone warehouses and 17th to 19th century architecture beside the Saint Lawrence River. Once Canada's commercial heart, it is now a beloved heritage district.
