Standing in Sydney's Hyde Park, the Anzac Memorial serves as a significant place of remembrance. This Art Deco structure, built between 1932 and 1934, honours the soldiers of the Australian Imperial Force from the First World War. Its exterior features powerful sculptures and reliefs created by Rayner Hoff, complementing the monument designed by C. Bruce Dellit.

The memorial's construction was funded by public donations, initiated on the first anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli. Opened in November 1934, it has since become a central site for commemorative events, including Anzac Day and Remembrance Day. Recent refurbishments and an expansion were completed in 2018, ensuring its continued role in preserving the memory of those who served.
