Victoria Tower (Canada)

Former bell tower in Ottawa, Canada

The Victoria Tower was the prominent main bell tower of the original Centre Block parliament building in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The 55-metre-high (180 ft) tower was the centre piece of Parliament Hill that was constructed from 1859 to 1866 by Thomas Fuller. It was destroyed during the great fire of the Centre Block on 3 February 1916. Its replacement, the Peace Tower, was built on the same location but the design and height were radically changed. The original tower bore some similarities to the tower at the Parliament Building (Quebec).
