Cimetière Mont-Royal
The mountain holds the city's dead, divided historically by faith. This Protestant-founded 1852 cemetery is a beautiful Victorian 'rural cemetery,' landscaped like a park, where the magnates, reformers, and ordinary citizens of Anglo and diverse Montreal lie — Anna Leonowens (the real 'Anna' of 'The King and I') among them. Walk it to read the city's social history in headstones, and note the larger Catholic Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery beside it.
A serene 1852 Victorian 'rural cemetery' on the mountain's north slope — the resting place of much of the city's Anglo-Protestant and diverse history.
