Shrine of Remembrance
Shrine of Remembrance roof (interior).
The Shrine of Remembrance is Victoria’s largest and most visited war memorial of National Significance. It is Melbourne’s most recognised landmark. It was built in remembrance of those who served and those who died in the Great War of 1914-1918 and armed conflicts and peacekeeping duties since. The First World War ended at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Each year on Remembrance Day a natural ray of sunlight, from a small aperture in the eastern side of the ceiling, falls directly on the Stone of Remembrance. At exactly 11 am (Eastern Standard Time) it illuminates the word LOVE. It took over a hundred pages of astronomical and mathematical calculations to ensure the opening was positioned so the sun would pass at the right time for the next 5,000 years.
