The city of Adelaide is home to a diverse group of communities that form the multicultural melting pot. The influences of this dynamic are abundantly visible across the city, however, the also hosts a host of landmarks and sites that hark back to an older era.
This building is easily the oldest building in the city square. Established in 1863, it is also one of the most stunning pieces of architecture in the area. The building stands out with an emblem set upon its out wall and it is possible to make out a variety of other impressions in the form of sheep, wheat as well as ships made on these walls.
If you are staying at one of the Adelaide hotels such as the Avani Adelaide Residences then you are in luck. The Adelaide Town Hall is just a quick walk away from you and is bound to make a striking cityscape.
Constructed in 1980 at the cost of close to $20 million, this building can be found near the embankment in Adelaide. With silver and white roofing, this complex is hard to miss and is well known to the locals given the many events that take place here. Having being built with theatrical performances in mind, the building can hold up to 5000 people at a time.
The main complex that represents the rule of law and democracy within Adelaide, this building can be seen as a domineering figure within the city. Build in a style reminiscent of the renaissance period, you can find a large portion of the building being constructed of marble. With a construction period lasting close to 65 years, the building has been through both world wars and is considered to be one of the most important buildings in the city due to its diplomatic importance.
Many buildings exist in Adelaide that can be considered to be noteworthy, and many may not even make it into this list, however, the National Railway Museum is something that is quite spectacular. With a truly impressive exhibition space, the entire building is split up into two separate hangers to accommodate the scale of the exhibits themselves.
With more than 400 railway exhibits, a visitor can comfortably run through the entire locomotive history of the railway mechanisms, carriages and as well as workforces that were involved in the development of this service. A worthy tribute to a true marvel of engineering and design.
No great city is complete without its own sports stadium and Adelaide is not one that is lacking in this department. With a sports complex that can hold up to fifty thousand people, the AAMI Stadium has long being a part of fond memories of locals for many generations.
With football being the main sport being played on these grounds, it is also the base of the National Soccer League!
