Victoria Barracks
-
Occupying 12 ha (30 acres), these barracks were built between 1841 and 1848. They are immediately recognizable from Oxford Street by their high sandstone walls; many regard this complex of late Georgian buildings as one of the finest military barracks in the world. The architect was Major George Barney, who also designed Fort Denison. Until 1870 the barracks were home to British troops; today they are an Australian Army facility. The Army Museum is housed in the former military prison and contains several interesting exhibits tracing the military heritage of New South Wales.
