New South Wales 2003-2004

This outstanding example of Byzantine architecture, which occupies an entire city block, was built in 1898 to replace the original Sydney Markets.  Later, it accommodated a concert hall, which eventually became the City Library.  In 1984 it was completely refurbished as a shopping centre, with more than 200 shops.  It is known as the "QVB", short for "Queen Victoria Building".
