The overall site is in a combination of the High Victorian Gothic, English garden, formal garden styles popular at the end of the 19th century. The Palace of Westminster and precinct had recently been rebuilt in a similar style, and the choice of a gothic rather than an American inspired neoclassical design, was a symbol of Canada's continued links to Britain.
The Parliament House of Canada can be visited inside.
The lower house, the House of Commons, is the dominant branch of the Canadian parliament. The chamber of the House of Commons is decorated in green and that of the Senate in red following the tradition of British Parliament.
