The Melbourne War Memorial, built in 1934, is a large-scale Memorial Hall across the road from the Royal Botanical Garden in Melbourne's Kingdom Territory. The solemn building adopts Greek classical design style. The front relief of the memorial is based on the pattern of the goddess of peace in ancient Greek mythology. There is a square in front of the memorial, a monument at the north end of the square, a statue of soldiers carrying the bodies of the victims on the top of the monument, and a sacred fire altar beside the monument. The balcony of this pyramid-roofed building offers a clear view of downtown Melbourne and Swanston Street on the North bank.
