From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Palais de justice de Montréal at 1 Notre Dame Street East in Montreal was completed in 1971. The modernist structure features the outdoor sculpture Allegrocube. The black metal and granite building is adjacent to the Champ de Mars square. It was designed by Montreal architects Pierre Boulva and Jacques David, whose other prominent Montreal projects included 500 Place d'Armes, Théâtre Maisonneuve, the National Bank Tower, the Dow Planetarium and the Place-des-Arts, Atwater and Lucien-L'Allier metro stations.[1][2]
