Big Ben - London
Parliament & Big Ben. Since 1547 the Palace of Westminster has been the seat of the two Houses of Parliament, called the Lords and the Commons. This superb building replaced the original, which burnt down in 1834. The four-faced clock is the largest in Britain and includes the famous 14-tonne bell ""Big Ben"". Originally hung in 1858, this vast bell chimes on the hour. Four smaller bells ring every quarter hour.

Bonsecours Market - Montreal
Bonsecours Market. The Bonsecours Market, a jewel in Montr?al's heritage crown, was inaugurated in 1847. A symbol of Montr?al's heyday, this imposing building was the city's main agricultural marketplace for over a century. It also housed a concert hall and even served as a city hall in the early days of Montr?al. Its symmetrical composition and Greek Revival portico (the cast-iron columns were brought from England), tin-plated dome and simple and varied details make it a perfect illustration of the Neo-classical style in favour at the time. Recent renovations have turned it once again into a bustling marketplace that also features shops and exhibitions.
