The Sydney Opera House was designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon who won an international design competition in 1957. Construction began in 1959 but was not finished until 1973 due to problems caused by weather conditions and labor disputes. The Sydney Opera House ran out of funding before it opened so three other architects on the Sydney Opera House team designed interiors for each area. Sydney Opera House has more than 1,700 windows which are covered by different materials
The Sydney Opera House is surrounded by the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney’s Arts District, and Sydney’s Circular Quay. The Sydney Opera House includes two concert halls, two theatres, and five public areas each with its design concept.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is an iconic symbol of Sydney that stretches over Sydney Harbour between Dawes Point on the North Shore to Milsons Point on the harbourside of the Central Business District (CBD).

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened in March 1932 after 7 years of building work. Six steel arches support the bridge which was built on each side of Sydney Harbour.
