Montréal - Marché Bonsecours

The Marché Bonsecours in Montreal was built between 1845 and 1852 as a multi-purpose building in the Neo-Renaissance style by William Fortner. The Parliament of the unified Canada met here for a time in 1849 then it served as the town hall before becoming Montréal's vegetable market from 1878 to 1963 when, following restoration work in 1964, it became the offices of the City Administration.

Today the building houses a number of interesting shops and boutiques and is a popular spot with tourists.
