Haymarket, Market City

Market City at Haymarket, is located just south of the Sydney central business district. The complex (left) contains a produce and flea market known as Paddy's Markets, the shopping centre Market City on three levels including cinemas and restaurants and a skyscraper apartment complex above called The Peak. Sydney's produce markets were originally located here until 1980 when they moved to the western suburb of Flemington. The Edwardian architecture of the outer walls of the vegetable market (right), built in 1909, was preserved and restored.
