In 1924, construction of a basilica began and was not completed until 1967. With a capacity of 10,000 people, including 3,000 seats, the sacred building is one of the largest churches in the world and the largest in Canada. The architects of the church are Dalbé Viau and Alphonse Venne.

Hiking

Another unnecessary but also huge church that occupies a beautiful location. The church itself doesn't actually do much, it's rather plain, not even the usual splendor. In the entrance area there are quite funny photo frames with a very light-skinned Jesus, who absolutely does not fit into the scenery of the Jerusalem area.
You can either hike up the hill or take a free shuttle bus. The lower station is in the western corner of the area.
