Picture of the day
The
Palace of Westminster
at dusk, showing the
Victoria Tower
(left) and the
Clock Tower
colloquially known as 'Big Ben'. The palace lies on the bank of the
River Thames
in the heart of
London
. The oldest part, Westminster Hall, dates to 1097, but most of the present structure dates from the 19th century, when it was rebuilt after it was almost entirely destroyed by a fire in 1834. Together with
Westminster Abbey
and
Saint Margaret's Church
, the palace is listed as a
UNESCO
World Heritage Site
.
