The Brock Arcade was built in 1891 and is a shopping promenade that has been relatively well-preserved since the 19th century. The design of this arcade is inspired by the Vittorio promenade in Milan, Italy. The mosaic tile floor is matched with marble columns, and Victorian window lattices are installed on both sides. 1. Melbourne's shopping mall, Brock Arcade, as a shopping mall in Melbourne, gathers most of the city's fashion, jewelry and gifts, leather goods, handmade toys, footwear and cosmetics stores, making every shopping lover linger. 2. Historical charm In addition to shopping, this exquisite and elegant arcade-style building itself is also worth savoring.
