Heritage and Arts Precinct

Ballarat's early prosperity meant that the city was always destined to become rich in culture and heritage, and the legacy of gold lives on today.

The city's central Heritage and Arts precinct boosts magnificent Sturt Street, a wide boulevard planted with elm trees and lined with statues, as well as the Art Gallery of Ballarat, historic Her Majesty's Theatre and Ballarat's remarkable Mechanics' Institute, as well as great cafes and restaurants.
