Bonsecours Market
Marché Bonsecours
A 19th-century neoclassical building with a silver dome on the Old Port waterfront. It once housed City Hall and the Parliament of the United Province of Canada, and today it is a shop for crafts and design.
Completed in 1847, Marché Bonsecours is about 150 meters long, and its silver dome is a signature feature of the Old Port skyline. It briefly served as the seat of the Parliament of the United Province of Canada and Montreal's City Hall, and for more than a century afterward it was the city's main farmers' market. Today the interior is filled with shops selling Québec crafts, designer clothing and Indigenous art, along with restaurant terraces. Entry is free, and shops are generally open from about 10:00 to 18:00. Next door, the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel (1771) displays ship models offered by sailors, and you can climb its tower for a view of the Old Port.
