Place Ville-Marie or 1, Place Ville-Marie (abbreviated as PVM) is a cruciform office tower built in the International style in 1962, arguably the most distinctive building in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
It is 188 m (617 ft) in height with 46 stories. It was built in the 1960s as the headquarters of the Royal Bank of Canada. Along with an underground shopping mall, it forms the nexus of Montreal's underground city, the world's largest, with indoor access to over 1,600 shops, restaurants, offices and businesses, as well as many of Montreal's metro stations, a suburban transportation terminal, and tunnels extending all over downtown. A rotating beacon on the rooftop (turning counter-clockwise) lights up at night, illuminating the surrounding sky with up to four white horizontal beams that can be seen as far as 50 km away.
This images is taken as a reflection via the windows of 5 PVM. |

Bravo.
