Modelled after Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, in Milan, the block arcade was founded in 1892 and quickly became a place to shop and be seen in Melbourne.

Today, it is host to 29 retailers on street and lower ground level, offering a broad shopping experience in a unique historic building.

For those who want to go on a journey back to Melbourne’s early days, guided walking tours are available. For further details, call Annette on 9654 5244 Or email [email protected].
