Leonard Cohen Mural and Parc du Portugal
Cohen bought a house beside Parc du Portugal and kept it most of his life, writing and returning here between the world's stages. Sit in the little park he loved, then find the two towering murals painted after his 2016 death. This is the literary Montreal that produced one of its greatest voices — and the Portuguese immigrant neighbourhood that shaped the Plateau.
Leonard Cohen lived for decades by this small Plateau park; two giant murals of him now overlook the streets he wrote from.
