Confederation Square (French: Place de la Confédération) is an urban square in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and is considered the second most important ceremonial centre in Canada's capital city, after Parliament Hill. Roughly triangular in area, with Canada's National War Memorial at its centre and the Valiants Memorial at its periphery, the square is bounded by Wellington Street to the north and branches of Elgin Street to the east and west.The square was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1984. Confederation Square's importance is due not only to its central location in Ottawa and its status as a rare Canadian example of a City Beautiful-inspired square, but also arises from the landmark buildings that frame the square: the Château Laurier, the Senate of Canada Building, the National Arts Centre, the Central Chambers, the Scottish Ontario Chambers, the Central Post Office, the PMO and the East Block. Part of the square crosses over the Rideau Canal, itself a National Historic Site of Canada and a World Heritage Site.A triangular plaza once located approximately at the site of today's Confederation Square was (originally) named after Governor General Connaught. Before 1910, today's Plaza Bridge over the Rideau Canal had been two separate bridges which were replaced at the time by a single bridge under which rail traffic would pass from the new Union Station past the (also new) Chateau Laurier. This work was finished by December 1912 and the location was named Connaught Place" on March 24

This is the spot you got to be at if you're visiting, or a photographer looking to capture some wild-angled photos of beautiful Ottawa. A latest smart-phone, and you can capture surround-shot, virtual shot etc.,Best time to be at: During the sunset(blue hour). Have a tripod ready if you're a pro. Otherwise, arrive a little early so your photos aren't badly lit.Summer time is great here, as the place is packed with people(mostly tourists).Grab a sandwich, sit, relax and enjoy your surrounding. The place can provide you with many opportunities such as, showcasing your shuffle dance or flash-mob skills.No one is going to bother you here, not even cops unless you're doing something against the law. In short, a fun place with many eye-candies around ;)

A nice square, feels like a significant part of Canada
