Sydney Opera House, Bicentenary of Greek Independence

The Sydney Opera House was lit up on 25 March 2021 with a projection of the colours of the Greek flag to mark 200 years of Greece's Independence. At an official ceremony, dignitaries spoke about the importance of recognising the contribution of Greek people to Australia.

    1. Greece came under Ottoman rule in the 15th century, in the decades around the fall of Constantinople. The Ottoman Empire declined until all that remained was Turkey.
