Wellingtons' Striking Architecture

The public architecture around Wellington - both old and new - adds another dimension to this physically stunning city. Nothing defines a city’s character quite as sharply as its architecture. In Wellington’s case it distinguishes it as well.
The most striking feature is the collection of historical timber houses perched in the green hills surrounding the harbour. The wooden theme is a consistent one, whether visiting Old St Paul’s Cathedral, Katherine Mansfield’s birth place, Antrim House, historical Thorndon or the Old Government Buildings - the largest wooden structure in the southern hemisphere.
On a more recent note, the doors are always open at the refurbished Parliament Buildings, next door to the famous copper-domed ‘Beehive’ which houses the offices of the Cabinet and the Prime Minister. Collectively these are a memorable monument to contemporary architecture.Photos
