The image showcases the Coops Shot Tower in Melbourne, Australia. This historical landmark and heritage-listed site was built in 1888 and was used for manufacturing lead pellets for ammunition. The 50-meter tall tower, made of red brick with arched windows, is a testament to the industrial architecture of the Victorian era. Despite closing in the 1960s, the tower has found new life as part of the Melbourne Central shopping center and train station, thanks to a redevelopment project in 1991 by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. The tower, now enclosed in a striking glass dome, continues to stand as a symbol of Melbourne’s rich history and vibrant present.
