Sydney Opera House

Sydney Opera House

An iconic building that represents the sails of a ship.

Sydney Opera House is Australia's best-known landmark and one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. It is a prime example of the cultural melting pot that is Sydney, and it features some amazing architecture. Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, by heart, without making a single measurement. The building represents his love for the sea and sailing. And the building became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007. One of the most notable features of the building is the fact that the roof is covered in over a million ceramic tiles that were imported from Sweden. The roof is made up of countless individual panels that were tiled on the ground. Before being lifted up and set into place on the roof. Due to delays Utzon himself abandoned the project and has actually never set foot in his own world-famous creation.
