Square Victoria : ウィキペディア英語版
Victoria Square, Montreal

Victoria Square ((フランス語:Square Victoria)) is a town square and public space in the ''Quartier International de Montréal'' (also called the International Quarter) area of downtown Montreal, Quebec, at the intersection of Beaver Hall Hill and McGill Street. The Square forms an integral component of the city's urban public transit system and constitutes a 'prestige address' for the international face of the city. It is bordered by Viger Street to the North, Saint Jacques Street to the South,Beaver Hall Hill to the West and Square Victoria Street (an extension of McGill Street) along the eastern side. As with other city squares, Square Victoria is open 24 hours per day to all citizens of Montreal and provides the role of an urban breathing space, with dense foliage to the South that tapers as the square rises up Beaver Hall Hill.
==History==

The square has existed since 1813. Formerly known as ''Place du Marché-à-Foin'' and ''Place des Commissaires'', it was renamed for Queen Victoria for the visit of the then-Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) in 1860.
Victoria Square has undergone many aesthetic changes over its history, functioning at times more as a parking lot, other times as a simple open space, while at others being far more refined and cultivated. The Square was restored to its current configuration in 2002 and 2003. It features Hector Guimard's Art Nouveau outdoor entrance to the Square-Victoria-OACI Metro station, a statue of Queen Victoria, the "Taichi Single Whip" sculpture by Ju Ming and trees lining its bounding avenues.
