Doors to Library in Parliament. This section is the only original part to Parliament. When it burnt down the library was the only untouched section, so they rebuilt around it.




This painting of Queen Victoria was saved from fire 4 times!




Senate House of Parliament. The thrones are for the King or Queen in case they want to visit the Senate


Ceiling







Views from Peace Tower where the bells are rung.




Memorial Hall


Book of Names of those who have died in the service of their country.



Originally built as a tomb of an unknown soldier now more of a platform to symbolize all the soldiers. Every day they turn a page so that every name gets viewed therefore not forgotten.


This floor was made from material found in Canadian war trentches.
