The Queen Victoria Building (QVB) is a late nineteenth-century building in the central business district of Sydney that is home to a variety of businesses, shops, and restaurants. Designed by renowned architect George McRae in the Romanesque style, it was built as a monument to the long reigning monarch and later became a marketplace, which still stands today.

The exquisitely restored building consists of four main shopping floors, which are naturally lit through the stained glass windows of a mighty center dome. The building features magnificent design details such as intricate tiled floors, arches, balustrades, and pillars. The northern end, which was previously a beautiful Grand Ballroom, is now a popular tearoom.
