Parliament Hill, Canada

Parliament Hill, built in 1859, is the most iconic landmark of Canada's capital and the seat of the national government of Canada, consisting of three Gothic-style buildings. The tallest structure on Parliament Hill is the Peace Tower, which stands at 92 meters tall and offers a panoramic view of the city and its surrounding areas. In front of the Parliament Buildings, there is a flame fountain where fire burns freely and water surges freely, with both elements coexisting at this spot. The thirteen shields on the fountain represent and record the ten provinces and three territories of Canada, as well as the dates of the changing of the guard ceremony characteristic of the British Commonwealth. The designer truly had a unique vision.
