More than any other city in Québec, Montréal's cosmopolitan population resembles a large religious mosaic composed of different ethnic communities. A long-established place of refuge and immigration, Montréal has been dominated by the various forms of Christianity since it was founded in 1642, but it has also seen the gradual arrival of new cultures with eclectic and vibrant religious practices. Our tour will give you a taste of the spiritual plurality of the metropolis. In full colour and lavishly illustrated with magnificent photos, this chapter includes detailed descriptions of each sacred site, as well as thematic sidebars for additional information. Practical details are provided for each site, including contact information, admission and opening hours. The chapter also features a precise map showing the itinerary and the location of each site and attraction.
