Dunedin
New Zealand’s oldest city shows its rich culture in many ways, which includes the country’s oldest university; it’s well known Scottish heritage as well as its famous landmarks and wildlife. Dunedin was founded largely by Scottish immigrants, who raised the impressive buildings which now add much to the city’s charm. These buildings incorporate a diverse array of styles, including the Italianate clock-tower of the Municipal Chambers, the grandiose Flemish Renaissance railway station, the Gothic revival-styled First Church and the Victorian architecture of New Zealand’s first university, Otago. Tudor, Jacobean, Georgian, Carpenter, Gothic and Arts and Crafts styles also feature. Dunedin is regarded as one of the best preserved Victorian cities in the Commonwealth.
