A real monument of modern architecture is the Olympiastadion, which is located in Montreal. It was still in 1976 on the occasion of the XXI. Olympic summer games. For the last time, the stadium was renovated in 2006. The reconstruction cost 1.4 billion US dollars. Currently the Olympiastadion is the largest in Canada. The dome-shaped roof construction, supported by the high support, makes the exterior of the stadium unique.
The central part of the dome also has an unusual shape and is reminiscent of the giant tortoise tank. This design element also has 'an inner effect' - from the inside, this part of the roof is reminiscent of a cracked layer of ice, which looks particularly realistic when lighting. Today the football matches of the Canadian League take place regularly at the legendary stadium. The stadium can accommodate 65 228 people.
