 memorial, arcade (architecture), earthquake epicenter

An arcade in Napier, New Zealand, built in remembrance of the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake.
The paved area between this structure and Marine parade was constructed out of the remains of the demolished buildings of Napier. Italianate Loggias like these were very fashionable from the Edwardian period until the Second War.
