One of the symbols of Melbourne is Eureka Tower, the city's tallest structure with a height of 297 meters. Its construction was completed in 2006, Fender Katsalidis Architects Company worked on the tower's design. On the 88th floor, there is an observation deck offering an amazing panorama, which is certainly worth a visit. Another interesting skyscraper in the capital of Victoria is Melbourne Central Shopping Centre built in 1991. Architects from Bates Smart Company had a hand in the construction of the 246-meter skyscraper. Light House built in 2017 deserves mentioning too - as is clear from its name, it's best to take a walk around its area in the evening when it is beautifully illuminated.
In the city, you can find a number of wonderful religious attractions. The most important of which are the beautiful Gothic revival monuments St. Patrick's Cathedral dating back to 1939 and St. Paul's Cathedral erected in 1926. St. Augustine Church can be considered Melbourne's “hidden gem”. It is built from basalt in 1867, and its architecture is rather unusual as for a church. The interior of the shrine is more than modest, but all this is complemented by a magnificent courtyard. Another interesting church, despite its small size, is the 1874 German Lutheran Trinity Church. Compared to the nearby St. Patrick's Cathedral it seems to be tiny. Nevertheless, the building conquers the hearts with its original architecture.
