Shrine of Remembrance-- Melbourne

Dear Readers,

As on previous page I talked about the beautifulness of Royal Botanic Gardens, in this page I will talk about the greatness of Shrine of Remembrance which is only located a short block to Royal Botanic Gardens.

The Shrine of Remembrance, located in Kings Domain on St Kilda Road, Melbourne, Australia was built as a memorial to the men and women of Victoria who served in World War I and is now a memorial to all Australians who have served in war. 
It is a site of annual observances of ANZAC DAY (25 April) and Remembrance Day (11 November) and is one of the largest war memorial in Australia. *


Here some snapshoot of the building architecture and features :

The building complex is huge. We can enter the building and mesmerize the history written there.
Inside the Shrine is the Sanctuary, a high vaulted space entered by four tall portals of Classical design .

At the centre of the Sanctuary is the Stone of Remembrance. 

This is a marble stone sunk below the pavement, so that visitors must bow their heads to read the inscription on it: GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN

Overall, this Shrine of Remembrance is recommended to be visited.
