The Archibald Fountain is located in Hyde Park North at the centre of ‘Birubi Circle’, and at the intersection of the main avenues crossing Hyde Park. The fountain commemorates the association between Australia and France in World War 1. It draws its themes from Greek antiquity and is an important example in Sydney of the classical revivalist sculpture of the 1920’s and 1930’s, known as Art Deco.
The Anzac Memorial, Hyde Park is the principal war memorial of New South Wales. It is a living monument to service and sacrifice and a significant cultural and civic space.
The Memorial was built in the early 1930s to perpetuate the memory of the men and women from New South Wales who served in the First World War and to be a place of comfort for those who had lost loved ones.
To the north of the Memorial is the Pool of Reflection and on the southern side is the water feature and forecourt area known as the Cascade.
St Mary’s Cathedral stands on the site of the first Catholic Chapel in Australia. Constructed in local sandstone, the Gothic Revival style of its architecture is reminiscent of the great medieval cathedrals of Europe.
