Landmarks and architecture

The Canberra city plan was conceived by Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin – a partnership of architects chosen from a world-wide competition to design the city in 1912. Iconic buildings on the Canberra skyline are the monuments in the Parliamentary Triangle and around Lake Burley Griffin. Visit the memorials, historic places and embassies.  You can also visit places of worship.
