Have you ever seen the Sydney Opera House? It is a famous building in Sydney, Australia. An architect from Denmark, Jørn Utzon, designed it after he won an international competition. In a competition, architects show their plans and the best one wins. Work began in 1959, and Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the building on 20 October 1973. Look at the roof: more than one million tiles cover it! In 2007, the building was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List. UNESCO helps to protect special places around the world, and this list shows them.
