The (QVB) is a Victorian style, Romanesque Revival architecture building in the CBD of , It has been described by Pierre Cardin as “the most beautiful shopping centre in the world”.
I don’t like shopping, But I think it’s worth to have a look around!

Constructed in 1898, was built to replace the original Markets. The building was deteriorated and saved from destruction by a restoration programme in 1959 and renovated in 1986. It’s not only a spectacular historical building, But also one of the most famous modern shopping centre of the contemporary era.

    Dear friend, There is a little mistake.
    It’s not in England, It’s in Sydney.
    I think the name Queen Victoria Building make a muddle.
