The Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne, Australia, is a grand monument dedicated to honoring the men and women who served in World War I and subsequent conflicts. Located in Kings Domain, it was officially opened in 1934 and serves as a place of reflection and remembrance. The structure features a classical design inspired by ancient mausoleums and temples, with a central sanctuary that houses the Stone of Remembrance. Each year, on ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day, the shrine hosts significant ceremonies that draw large crowds, paying tribute to the sacrifices of the armed forces.
