The Gothic Revival-style buildings were constructed in the late 19th century and are among the most recognizable structures in Canada. The Peace Tower, standing at the center of the Centre Block, is particularly notable for its striking architecture and the Memorial Chamber, which honors Canadians who have lost their lives in military service.
