About this Event
Come explore a historical building of the Byward Market!
Since 1832 this piece of land has been the site for several structures that have serviced the local community. From the original wooden chapel to a permeant stone church dedicated to St. Jacques (James), this site has been an on-going construction site from 1827 to 1879. This local church was elevated to status of cathedral in 1847 and later cathedral-basilica in 1879.
