Nelson's Column, Montreal
Montreal, Canada · built 1809
Nelson's Column (colonne Nelson) is a monument, designed by Scottish architect Robert Mitchell and erected in 1809 in Place Jacques-Cartier, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, which is dedicated to the memory of Admiral Horatio Nelson, following his death at the Battle of Trafalgar. Subsequent to the destruction of Nelson's Pillar in Dublin (1808–1966), Montreal's pillar now stands as the second-oldest "Nelson's Column" in the world, after the Nelson Monument in Glasgow. It is the city's oldest monument and the oldest war monument in Canada. The public funds raised for building the monument were collected from both British and French Montrealers.
