If you haven’t visited the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica in Ottawa, I recommend that you do. It’s such a gem in our beautiful capital city! ✨ I took a guided tour and learned many interesting things about Ottawa’s main church. Fun facts: 📌 It was built in 1841, and it is the first Catholic church built in Ottawa. 📌 It was made of stone and wood. The big columns that look like marble are actually wood. 📌 It has two historic organs that together have over 4,000 pipes of different sizes, distributed throughout the building so their sound can be heard everywhere. 📌 The main altar was made by several French-Canadian craftsmen and sculptors, many of whom also worked on the ornamentation of the Parliament Buildings. Good to know: 👉 Guided tours are $10 and are offered every day. 👉 The cathedral is open daily and can be visited Mondays to Fridays from 9 am to 6 pm, and weekends from 9am to 7pm. 👉 Admission is free. A beautiful piece of history right in the heart of Ottawa! ✨ #ott...
