The Shrine of Remembrance is Victoria's state memorial to Australians who served in war and peacekeeping. Built in 1934 and modeled on the Parthenon, it stands majestically in Kings Domain gardens with panoramic city views from its balcony. The underground museum houses thousands of artifacts, and the site hosts ANZAC Day dawn services each year.
