Government of Canada

The Canadian Parliament Buildings are located on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario. They house Canada’s federal government and are a symbol of Canadian democracy. The buildings are designed in the Gothic Revival style, which is known for its tall structures and intricate details that make them look grand and impressive. The building is designed to facilitate the functions of government, with distinct areas for the House of Commons and the Senate. The arrangement allows for public access while maintaining the necessary security and privacy for parliamentary proceedings. A significant landmark is the 92 meters tall Peace Tower. It houses a clock and the Memorial Chamber, dedicated to Canadians who died in military service. The Central Block is a symmetrical design with large, vaulted ceilings, elaborate woodwork, and stained glass windows that reflect Canada's history and culture.
