Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

It's often likened to 'drowning nuns,' but the official name is the Sydney Opera House. It rises like an island from the city's harbor, just as the island continent rises from the world ocean. Perhaps that is why this urban inselberg has become the most popular symbol of Australia. Here, aesthetes gather nightly to enjoy the world city's best symphonic art. [2006]
