皇后广场(英语:Queen's Square)是澳洲新南威尔士州雪梨中区的一座公众广场,位于京街菲腊街麦觉理街的交界处,南边以圣占士道及亚厘毕亲王道为界。

概述[编辑]

法院大楼,右边的休憩用地是皇后广场的北端

围绕皇后广场,从北顺时针方向依次为新南威尔士州最高法院英语Supreme Court of New South Wales雪梨铸币局英语Sydney Mint[1][2]、获联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产海德公园军营英语Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney[3][4]注册总署洋楼英语Registrar-General's building[5]海德公园[6]圣公会圣雅各堂[7]雪梨法学院英语Sydney Law School。除最高法院及雪梨法学院外,这些建筑都已列入文物名录,大多建于18世纪及19世纪。

维多利亚女皇铜像矗立在广场西南角,面向北边的最高法院。亚厘毕亲王铜像矗立在东南角,面向麦觉理街对面的女皇像。

因靠近最高法院及议会大厦,此地常有示威活动。

圣占士站英语St. James railway station, Sydney位于广场南侧的地下,可经由圣占士道下方的行人隧道抵达。[8]

历史[编辑]

19世纪初,纽修威省总督麦觉理规划在此地建造公众广场。广场初名为英皇广场(King's Square),1837年随维多利亚女皇登基更名为皇后广场。[9]1888年,纽修威省总督夫人卡灵顿勋爵夫人为女皇像揭幕,以庆祝澳洲百年国庆。女皇像位于一圈道路的中间,沿路曾有环形电车轨道。[9]1970年代末,最高法院大楼建成后,京街在夹菲腊街处终止,菲腊街与麦觉理街之间的京街路段成为广场的一部分。[10]
