Montreal has the world's largest Catholic church, St. Joseph's Oratory, one of the world's most famous altars of worship. St. Joseph's Cathedral is magnificent, with a dome 97 meters tall, second only to St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. It is also the second largest domed cathedral in the world. Directly in front of the church is a giant square divided into three parts by green belt, the middle part is a pedestrian walkway, two lanes on both sides. Walk through the square and you can see a long column of steps leading directly to the church. This step is also built by the mountain, and it is also divided into three parts. The steps in the middle are for pilgrims to "kneel" up, and the ones on both sides are for tourists. Opening hours: Daily, 9:00-5:00 (Recommended Sunday, very spectacular drop) Tickets: free

    Montreal is a must-see place for tourists and is praised as the cathedral of the city landmark. The church is on a high mountain and can be seen from multiple angles of the city. And there is an elevator in the church, which is also the first time when visiting the church, you can see one of the churches that needs to be installed to visit the elevator. On cloudy days, you can see the top of the church surrounded by clouds, adding a little mystery. It is said that the church also has its own church school, the whole church is very spectacular, along the stairs full of climbing, the whole city of Montreal has a panoramic view. The church is designed for Catholic Romanesque churches, with a green high dome, which is very eye-catching at first sight. There is also a huge organ in the church, with 5811 pipe organ playing melodious music every day, and there are regular organ concerts in the church. There are 5 floors in the church, each floor can be reached by elevator. The first and second floors are viewing platforms, with a vast outdoor platform, and each chapel inside the church has a different style, which can be visited slowly.

    The building of Joseph's Cathedral is baroque, especially his dome is peacock green, very beautiful, it is a little farther to take a panoramic photo. It is free to enter the tour.

    St. Joseph's Cathedral is the largest domed church in North America. The green roof is really cute and high in altitude. It is perfect for overlooking Montreal and has a bit of a Royal Mountain Park experience.

    It's not only the largest Catholic Church in North America, but also the second largest dome church in the world, next only to St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome, that is to say, St. Paul's Cathedral in London and Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. They are much higher.

    Go down the mountain and leave Royal Hill Park and follow the path to St. Joseph's Church. This Catholic Temple is one of the most visited religious sites in the world, with about two million people coming here every year to worship. It is the third largest pilgrimage church in the world and the largest in Canada. In 2004, St. Joseph's Church was listed as a Canadian historical monument. The church's huge green dome, which is 39 meters in diameter and 60 meters in interior, looks spectacular.
