The Melbourne War Memorial was built in 1934 in the King's Land of Melbourne, across the road from the Royal Botanic Gardens, a large memorial. This solemn building adopts the Greek classical design style. The reliefs on the front of the memorial are based on the pattern of the goddess of peace in ancient Greek mythology. There is a square in front of the memorial, and there is a monument at the north end of the square. There is a statue of the warrior carrying the bodies of the victims on the top of the monument. There is a altar of flame next to the monument. The balcony of this pyramid-shaped rooftop building offers a clear view of the north shore of Melbourne city centre and Swanston Street.
