Ottawa has this architecture? Now I am also surprised :eek:

Anyway - it's maybe the most unknown capital of a well known country by name and nature apart from Canberra, Bern and Brasilia - although the latter is known by architects ;)

Don't forget Ivory Coast! Many think it's Abidjan but it is not the official capital (Yamoussoukro)

I was surprised when I went to Ottawa too, it has some great European style architecture and many can mistake it with Quebec.

^^ Even I did! ;)


There are many cities which most people think are the capital of their country.

Almaty - Kazachstan
Dar es Salaam - Tanzania
Johannesburg - South Africa
UAE - Abu Dhabi

Almaty is not capital anymore. Astana even MEANS capital afaik ;)
Abu Dhabi is ...still... capital
Dar-es-Salam is stil the seat of the government although the capital has been moved to Dodoma (who ever knows THAT place :lol: ) - same as in Malaysia
Yamoussoukro is famous for that

But no one can remember or pronounce the name anyway - so better stay with Abidjan :lol:
