29 June 2007 Sydney Opera House granted World Heritage status
Britons picking up their annual travel insurance and heading to Australia this year may be looking to visit the renowned Sydney Opera House designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon.
The arts complex has this week been awarded Unesco World Heritage status, with the iconic building joining other famous listed sites ranging from the Great Wall of China to the Statue of Liberty.
Matt Brown, New South Wales minister for tourism, said: "When international visitors think of Australia, they think of Sydney and particularly of the Sydney Opera House.
"For many, a visit to the opera house while they are in Sydney is not just a must do but also an honour."
He noted that 4.5 million visitors witness approximately 2,500 performances at the complex each year, adding that this award from Unesco has placed the opera house in its rightful place as an officially listed landmark.
The Sydney Opera House was constructed in 1973 and is located at Sydney Harbour on Bennelong Point, near to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
