Sydney was founded in 1788 as a British penal colony, marking the beginning of European settlement in Australia. It grew from a convict outpost into Australia's largest and most economically significant city.

The Sydney Opera House, completed in 1973 and designed by Danish architect JΓΈrn Utzon, is one of the most recognizable buildings in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Sydney hosted the 2000 Summer Olympics and remains Australia's leading center for finance, media, and tourism.
