The Queen Victoria Building has been described by Pierre Cardin as "the most beautiful shopping centre in the world". An outstanding example of Byzantine architecture, which occupies an entire city block, was built in 1898 to replace the original Sydney Markets. |

Later, The Queen Victoria Building accommodated a concert hall, which eventually became the City Library. The building was remodelled in the 1930s and used for different purposes, including municipal offices. In 1984 it was completely refurbished as a shopping centre, with more than 200 shops.
The building has a series of domes and domelets with exquisite stained glass windows and extensive wood panelling throughout. There is a marvellous hanging clock that displays a series of mechanically moving tableaux of British kings and queens every hour on the hour.
