点评:This is the seat of power and government capital of Canada. It is where you find a complex of three (West, Central and East) Gothic Revival buildings that make up Canadian Parliament. While we didn't do any tours within the available blocks of Parliament, we did enjoy spending around an hour exploring the Hill grounds viewing the buildings and monuments to be seen here.
Presently the Central block is under restorations scheduled to be finished around 2030-31. Unfortunately this means quite a bit of the building are difficult to view from the outside due to scaffolding and tarps covering various parts of the building. However, you can still view Peace Tower clearly from various locations around the Hill.
The East and West blocks remain functioning. Summer visitations can be arranged through the Parliament of Canada website. The buildings were constructed in the mid 19th-century and are a charming example of Gothic Revival architecture. There are quite a few monuments scattered around Parliament Hill as well. You will see them throughout as you explore the area.

目前,中央街区正在进行修复工程,预计于2030-31年左右完工。遗憾的是,由于脚手架和防水布覆盖了建筑的各个部分,从外部很难看到建筑的大部分。不过,您仍然可以从国会山周围的各个位置清晰地看到和平塔。
东、西两座建筑仍在使用。您可以通过加拿大国会大厦网站安排夏季参观。这些建筑建于19世纪中期,是哥特复兴式建筑的典范。国会山周围也散布着不少纪念碑。在您探索该地区时,它们随处可见。
