Once, while living in Victoria, Canada I visited the British Columbia Parliament. The building had stunning architecture and dwarfed everything around it. But it wasn't the size or beauty that got my attention. It was a very distinct,  prominent, almost purposeful feeling that I'd been there before. Now, if it was just a familiarity of the place, I could've easily chalked it up to anything from a previously seen photo to an article with a good description of it. But it wasn't just the building and the surroundings.
