Christ Church Cathedral

This Anglican cathedral, which is reflected in the shiny exterior of the postmodernist Tour de Catedral office tower, stands in glorious Gothic contrast to the city's glassy downtown skyscrapers. Sometimes called the "floating cathedral" because of the many tiers of malls and corridors in the underground city beneath it, the building was completed in 1859. The original steeple, too heavy for the structure, was replaced by a lighter aluminum version in 1940. Christ Church Cathedral hosts concerts throughout the year, most frequently from mid-January through August on Wednesdays at 12:30pm.

635 rue Ste-Catherine.Phone: 514/843-6577 ext. 369 (recorded information about concerts).Open: Daily 8am-6pm; services Sun 8am, 10am, and 4pm.Free admission; donations accepted.Métro: McGill.
