“Ville imaginaire”

Sculpture erected on Île Sainte-Hélène, close to the ferry boat pier.

Sculpture done by João Charters de Almeida, in 1997. This sculpture is made out of white granite from Portugal.

 A gift from the Metropolitano de Lisboa to the Société de transport de Montréal (Montreal Transport Company) and subsequently to the City of Montreal, this work commemorates the 30th anniversary of Montreal’s Metro subway system – and Expo 67. The sculpture is a reflection on how humans create mythical spaces, both out of necessity and in response to challenges.
