Montreal City Hall (Hôtel de Ville) is a stunning example of architecture, with its grand façade, mansard roof, and ornate detailing. Built in the 1870s, it’s one of the most beautiful civic buildings in Canada. It was also famously the site where Charles de Gaulle gave his “Vive le Québec libre!” speech in 1967. Today, it remains the seat of local government and is full of political energy.

Montreal City Hall is a beautiful building with wonderful architecture. It's very much worth seeing. Also, across the street from Montreal City Hall is Château Ramezay, which is an excellent museum and a historical site to visit and to learn more about the history of Montreal. There are many other sites of interest to visit around city hall. I would highly recommend it.
