Walking along the paths around Parliament Hill brings you right beside the striking Library of Parliament. Built in 1876 in a distinctive circular Gothic Revival style, the library serves as the research centre for Canada’s Parliament. It is also the only part of the original Parliament complex to survive the devastating fire of 1916. Passing close to the building offers a chance to admire its intricate stonework, flying buttresses, and copper roof from ground level.
