Melbourne Central is a large shopping centre, office, and public transport hub in the city of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The buzz continues after dark with Hoyts Cinema, B. Lucky & Sons, Strike Bowling, The Pancake Parlour and Asian Beer Café on Level 3. Spanning two city blocks, the centre boasts several unique architectural features including the giant Marionette Watch hanging in Shot Tower Square, famous for its hourly rendition of the Australian anthem 'Waltzing Matilda'. The square is named after the historic Coops Shot Tower a bullet-making facility built in 1889. Today, the brick shot tower stands proudly in its original place, protected by a modern twist: the magnificent Glass Cone, designed in the '80s by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. While it floods the centre with natural light, the Glass Cone's design also makes it one of Melbourne's most recognisable landmarks.

The Glass Cone

The Glass Cone is the largest glass structure of its type in the world. The cone is 20 storeys high, weighs 490 tonnes and has 924 glass panes. The glass panes are cleaned by a specially designed mechanical system. Upon the centre's opening it was referred to as the "Magic Cone".

Coop's Shot Tower

The Shot Tower is the focal point of the shopping centre, with the cone purposefully built to protect the National Trust building. A few shops are tenanted inside the building including R.M. Williams. Recently, a museum opened inside the tower on its history. Entry is free.
