Evolution of Montreal (9000 BC–2026) | Fixed-Camera Timelapse Watch Montreal transform from a forested St. Lawrence River terrace into the modern Place d’Armes and Notre-Dame Basilica view in one fixed-camera historical timelapse.

Watch as the historic square makes way for the massive construction of the Notre-Dame Basilica, the arrival of electric streetcars, the rise of the Art Deco Aldred Building, and the bustling modern tourist hub of 2026.
