The chief diplomatic mission in Canada, the Embassy in Ottawa also oversees a consulate in Toronto and another in Montreal.

The grim fortress-like look of the building is explained by the wikipedia entry:

"For many years the embassy was the target of repeated terrorist attacks by anti-Castro groups based in the United States. The first of these was an improvised bomb made out of bazooka shells that went off in 1966. It caused only minor damage to the embassy, then located on Chapel Street in Sandy Hill. The bomb blew out the embassy's windows, and those of many nearby homes and made a crater in the sidewalk. In 1968 the embassy moved into a stone manor at 700 Echo Drive in Old Ottawa South, which was the site of another unsuccessful attack in 1974. It moved to its present heavily fortified location in 1977.
