<P> The Peace Tower ( in French : Tour de Paix ) , also known as the Tower of Victory and Peace ( in French : tour de Victoire et de Paix ) , is a focal bell and clock tower sitting on the central axis of the Centre Block of the Canadian parliament buildings in Ottawa , Ontario . The present incarnation replaced the 55 - metre ( 180 ft ) Victoria Tower after the latter burned down in 1916 , along with most of the Centre Block ; only the Library of Parliament survived . It serves as a Canadian icon and had been featured prominently on the Canadian twenty - dollar bill directly adjacent the queen 's visage , until the change to polymer . </P>
