Numerous aerial photographs of Olympic Park and the Olympic Stadium (Stade Olympique) in Montreal are available from Aerial Archives. The Olympic Stadium is a multi purpose stadium with the largest seating capacity of any stadium in Canada. It was designed by French architect Roger Taillibert.
The design incorporated a retractable roof opened and closed by cables suspended from the 175-meter (574 ft) Olympic Tower. The Olympic Tower is the tallest inclined structure in the world.
The Olympic Tower includes a multi-story observatory which opened in 1987. It’s accessible via an elevator that can carry up to 76 people per trip. Panoramic views available to elevator passengers include views of the Olympic Village, and the Botanical Gardens.
One of the twin Olympic Village structures is at right. The Olympic Village towers housed all of the 1976 summer Olympics athletes except the sailors and equestrian competitors. The Olympic Village was designed by architects Roger D’Astous and Luc Durand.
Maisonneuve Park, Montreal Botanical Garden and Montreal Insectarium are visible in the background of this aerial photograph.
