Discover the convent complex of the Saint-Joseph Hospitallers, who were healthcare pioneers in Montreal.

For the podcast’s duration, explore the convent complex site by listening to the Hospitallers’ history. Discover famous characters such as Jeanne Mance, Victor Bourgeau – one of the most influent architects of the 19th century -, and artist Claude Théberge.
