Introduction

Overlooking the Ottawa River, Parliament Hill is a series of Gothic-style buildings, most notably the Canadian flag flying atop the clock tower. The National Day parade, one of the country's grandest celebrations, takes place here. The early mornings of summer are pleasant, with changing of the guard ceremonies held in front of Parliament. At night, the fires on Parliament Square never go out, providing endless enjoyment for spectators and stargazers accompanied by beautiful music. The architectural style of the buildings here carries the ancient European charm.
