Ottawa’s Parliament Hill
The Parliament Building is built on the Ottawa River, and its architecture dates back to the second half of the 19th century. The Hill Parliament Building is a district in south part of the Ottawa River in Ontario.
Three huge buildings with stone facades and magnificent green roofs form the complex of the parliament building.
The architectural style of the Parliament is Gothic Hill, which was built in Victorian times and is 50 meters high. This building is a stone structure and Ohio sandstone has been used in the decorative works inside the building. The Parliament Library, located at the back of the building, is an octagonal building that is very beautiful and architecturally amazing.
The Peace Tower, built to commemorate the Canadian victims of World War and one of the country’s most iconic landmarks these days, splits Hill Parliament House.
The beautiful view of the city and the famous Ottawa River from the top of the Peace Tower attracts many tourists.
Ordinary people can climb the Peace Tower and watch the scenery while government meetings are being held. Free tours are also held to visit the parliament building and introduce its history.
The large area of the Canadian Parliament building has become more spectacular with a beautiful fountain in the middle.
The most important Canadian national holidays, such as the Canadian National Day, are held in this area.
A little below Parliament Hill, along the Ottawa River, there is a special hiking trail that is very attractive, romantic and enjoyable.
