Melbourne is, among many other accolades, one of the most varied and unique cities in the country from an architectural standpoint. This comes from a considerable amount of creativity and emphasis on quality craftsmanship that has come to define the city, but more than that, it also showcases the importance of retaining history. The i-heritage database provides information on over 8000 structures across Melbourne and its suburbs, including everything from their heritage status to the specifics of their architectural style and historical context.
