Central Otago, and the small settlement of Dunedin became the centre for the nation's wealth. Soaring cathedral spires, a magnificent Flemish-style railway station, fine banks and office blocks, a 19th century castle, old university buildings and a neo-gothic convent are among the city's architectural treasures.

Dunedin's art gallery and museums contain some of the best collections in New Zealand.
