概述

法院大楼，右边的休憩用地是皇后广场的北端

围绕皇后广场，从北顺时针方向依次为新南威尔士州最高法院（英语：Supreme Court of New South Wales）、雪梨铸币局（英语：Sydney Mint）^[1][2]、获联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产的海德公园军营（英语：Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney）^[3][4]、注册总署洋楼（英语：Registrar-General's building）^[5]、海德公园^[6]、圣公会圣雅各堂^[7]及雪梨法学院（英语：Sydney Law School）。除最高法院及雪梨法学院外，这些建筑都已列入文物名录，大多建于18世纪及19世纪。

维多利亚女皇铜像矗立在广场西南角，面向北边的最高法院。亚厘毕亲王铜像矗立在东南角，面向麦觉理街对面的女皇像。

因靠近最高法院及议会大厦，此地常有示威活动。

圣占士站（英语：St. James railway station, Sydney）位于广场南侧的地下，可经由圣占士道下方的行人隧道抵达。^[8]

历史

19世纪初，纽修威省总督麦觉理规划在此地建造公众广场。广场初名为英皇广场（King's Square），1837年随维多利亚女皇登基更名为皇后广场。^[9]1888年，纽修威省总督夫人卡灵顿勋爵夫人为女皇像揭幕，以庆祝澳洲百年国庆。女皇像位于一圈道路的中间，沿路曾有环形电车轨道。^[9]1970年代末，最高法院大楼建成后，京街在夹菲腊街处终止，菲腊街与麦觉理街之间的京街路段成为广场的一部分。^[10]
