A story about the Sydney Opera House in Australia for 3rd grade
The Sydney Opera House is one of the most amazing buildings in the world, easily recognizable by its unusual sail-shaped roof.
I was able to visit this opera last year when we went to Australia. In fact, these sails on the roof of the opera look more like shells, but they still look great.
We went to see the opera and ended up in the opera hall, which is located in one of the largest shells. However, from the inside the ceiling has a normal appearance. But when we went into the restaurant during intermission, the ceiling there was exactly a sink and it looked wonderful.
But I liked looking at the Sydney Opera House from the outside more, especially at night, when it lights up like a huge ship sailing under full sail into the Pacific Ocean.
This is truly a unique architectural structure.

Leaning Tower of Pisa
The main attraction of Pisa is its tower or bell tower, which has been believed to be falling for many centuries. It began to be built in the 12th century, and it immediately began to tilt. And the construction was completed a century later, when the tower had an inclination of about 2 degrees. She later tilted up to 5 degrees and was leveled several times.
Today the Leaning Tower of Pisa is the hallmark of its city. You can go inside and climb the stairs to the top floor. But under no circumstances should you touch the bells, take anything out of the tower, etc.
The Sistine Chapel
This famous temple is located in Rome in the Vatican. It is in the Sistine Chapel that you can see Michelangelo’s fresco “The Last Judgment,” for which tourists and art lovers go there. There you can also see other unique, priceless frescoes and stained glass windows of the Renaissance.
This chapel was built in the 15th century, during the era of weakening dominion of the Church. But even today, six centuries later, this is an extremely important place for the Catholic Church, because... It is in the Sistine Chapel that the election of the Pope takes place.
