Info
The Royal Arcade is a historic shopping arcade in the central business district of Melbourne, Victoria. Opened in 1870, it is the oldest surviving arcade in Australia, known for its elegant light-filled interior, and the large carved mythic figures of Gog and Magog flanking the southern entry.
Along with Melbourne's other historic arcade, the Block Arcade, it is a tourist icon of Melbourne, and part of the network of lanes and arcades in the central shopping area of the city.
The arcade is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register., and by the National Trust, and Melbourne's Golden Mile heritage walk runs through the arcade.
