Our Lady of Victories Basilica (Camberwell)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Our Lady of Victories Basilica is a Catholic church located in the Melbourne suburb of Camberwell. Romanesque in style, it was designed by architect Augustus Andrew Fritsch[1] (1866 – 1933)[2] and was completed in 1918. It is one of five churches in Australia with minor basilica status.
Our Lady of Victories occupies an imposing site in Burke Road and, in a city where most churches of the era are built in the Gothic Revival style, has a distinctive copper clad dome completed with a golden statue of the Virgin Mary.
