In the heart of Sydney stands impressive sandstone building - Sydney Town Hall. Right in front of the city's landmark is the Queen Victoria Building, and near - Cathedral of St. Andrew. Its location between the busy subway station Town Hall and downtown City Hall has made a popular meeting place of citizens.

Sydney Town Hall was built in the 1880s on the site of the old cemetery. The building in late Victorian style, described as "a richly decorated building with a central tower and fanciful roofs." Today, it remains the only non-religious building in Sydney, which has kept the original interior and since its construction performs the same function - it houses the House of the City Council and the administration of the mayor of Sydney. In the main hall - the Hall of the Century - is the world's largest mechanical organ, built in 1886-1889, respectively, and established in 1890. Prior to the opening of the Sydney Opera House is located in the Town Hall the city's main concert hall, which hosts various events.

From ancient times, the steps leading to the Town Hall are a popular meeting place for the residents of Sydney. However, the city administration has recently taken a number of measures restricting the meeting at these levels during the day and put a night guard, due to the increasing incidence of attacks and damage to city property drawings graffiti.

Today, Sydney Town Hall, listed as a national heritage of Australia.
