Parliament Hill, colloquially known as The Hill, is an area of Crown land on the southern banks of the Ottawa River in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Its Gothic revival suite of buildings, and their architectural elements of national symbolic importance, is the home of the Parliament of Canada. Parliament Hill attracts approximately three million visitors each year. Law enforcement on Parliament Hill and in the parliamentary precinct is the responsibility of the Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS).

The Peace Tower is a focal bell and clock tower sitting on the central axis of the Centre Block of the Canadian parliament buildings in Ottawa, Ontario. The present incarnation replaced the 55-metre (180 ft) Victoria Tower after the latter burned down in 1916, along with most of the Centre Block; only the Library of Parliament survived. It serves as a Canadian icon and had been featured prominently on the Canadian twenty-dollar bill directly adjacent the queen's visage, until the change to polymer.

Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica is the oldest church in Ottawa and the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall. The church is located east of the city center on Sussex Drive in the Lowertown neighborhood not far from the National Gallery of Canada. The building is dominated by its twin-tower facade. Its spires are covered with silver-colored metal - as is typical for Eastern Canada. Between the towers, on the roof edge of the nave, is a gilded statue of the Madonna.
