Sydney Opera House

Sydney Opera House is an icon of the 20th century.

The building that shows gigantic concrete shells is
famous all over the world. Danish architect Jørn
Utzon’s design transformed the image of an entire nation.
The interior areas are colorful, like Buddhist temples. This
breaks the European tradition of using
dark, red walls and carpets. There are spacious stairs
where you can access the events. There are many
places to get excellent photographs, but you have to get on a ferry to take a picture of the whole
building.
