Situated in the core of Ottawa’s Parliamentary Hill, the Peace Tower contains a focal bell and clock, and it serves as an icon of the country; Peace Tower is even featured on Canada’s twenty-dollar bill. Peace Tower replaced Victoria Tower, which burned down in 1916 and was rebuilt in the ornate Victorian Gothic style to complement the remaining Parliamentary complex buildings."

Its ornate stone carvings and clock face make the structure one of Canada’s most widely recognizable symbols (also largely thanks to its appearance on the national 20-dollar bill).
