A
University Clock Tower
The University Clock Tower is Auckland's architectural triumph. The stately ‘ivory' tower (1926) tips its hat towards Art Nouveau (the incorporation of NZ flora and fauna into the decoration) and the Chicago School (the way it's rooted into the earth). It's usually open, so wander inside.

Holy Trinity Cathedral
Holy Trinity Cathedral is worth visiting for its modern stained-glass windows. Its blue-coloured rose window, designed by English artist Carl Edwards, is particularly striking above the simple kauri altar.

Grafton Gate
Admers of the male form should check out the Domain's Grafton Gate , a wonderful Art Deco sandstone construction topped with a larger-than-life bronze nirude.
