The West Block-Western Departmental Building
One of the 3 Main Buildings at the Parliament Hill also called as the Western Departmental Building. It has housed the House of Commons Chamber, installed to accommodate the house while the Centre block is closed. It also houses offices of the pariamentarians, a house of the library of parliament. The building looks amazing with its Victorian High Gothic Style. The west block can be seen in the Canadian five-dollar bill.

The EAST Block - Parliament Hill
Just beside the historic Rideau Canal, this building is a very good example of the High Victorian Gothic Revival Style. It was originally built to house the offices of the senators and the member of the parliament. Today, parts of the building are going under preservation. This building is one of the 2 buildings that survived mostly from the original construction. Not as famous as the Centre Block its design appeared on the face of the Journey Series design of the Canadian hundred-dollar bill.

The Centre Block - The Parliament
This is the main building of the 3 buildings of the Parliament Hill. It houses most of the politicians here. It seems to be in the process of renovation or preservation. The view right now is not as good when it is in the regular days. There are aome big cranes when you take a picture of it at the present. This building is also very famous because if they see this building they know it is in Canada. The Centre block can be see in the $10, $20 and $50

The Beauty of the Parliament Hill at Night
It was a cloudy and sometimes a little drizzly day at Ottawa when I arrived. After I checked in and settled down in my lodge I immediately went to the Parliament to see those amazing architectural/historical buildings that are even used until now. The feeling to see i pictures and the feeling to see in person is totally different. The only disadvantage of visiting the place ar this time is that it is still under renovation/preservation.
This is a MUST see place when you are in Ottawa.
