Phillips Square
Culture, arts and heritage Architecture Outdoor Downtown Montréal
A monument to Edward VII adorns the centre of this tiny park named after its donor, Thomas Phillips (in 1840). In fact, the first downtown stores were located around this Square. Today, we still find the famous Birks jewellery store, housed in a magnificent building (1864), and The Bay department store (permanently closed in June 2025), originally called the Hudson's Bay Company, founded by the trappers and used as a fur resale outlet.
