🗽 Wolfe–Montcalm Monument

The Wolfe–Montcalm Monument is in Governors' Garden beyond the southern side of the Château Frontenac, Quebec. Completed in 1828, the obelisk is the oldest monument in Quebec City and the second-oldest war monument in Canada, the oldest being Nelson's Column in Montreal, which was completed in 1809. The monument commemorates the gallantry of two generals, James Wolfe from Great Britain and Louis-Joseph de Montcalm of France, who led armies which fought against each other in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham outside of Quebec City, and who both died during the battle. It is one of very few monuments to honor both the victorious and the defeated general of the same battle.
