Gallery with a facade decorated with statues and a Greek cross plan with a central glass dome.

The cholera epidemic in 1884 led to major urban redevelopment. New arteries were built and attempts were made to air out the city. The gallery, built between the San Carlo Theatre and Toledo Street, is part of this vast project. Designed by the Neapolitan engineer Emanuele Rocco, it has a Greek cross plan with a central glass dome 57 m high supported by an iron structure. Admire the polychrome marble flooring and, on the main façade, the statues by Carlo Nicoli.

Une galerie certes inhabituelle avec sa verrière, mais elle ne parvient pas à égaler la galerie Vittorio Emmanuel II, sa grande soeur à Milan.
A voir toutefois, si vous n'avez pa encore vu celle de Milan.

très italien
Une gallerie cruciforme, c'est dans l'architecture le symbole même de l'Italie du XIXe!
celle de Naples est à voir.
Bien située, face au théâtre et au château, elle sera le lieu d'une pose bien agréable devant un capuccino ou ristretto, que les petits café de la galerie servent toute la journée ...
Levez la tête et admirer tranquillement, loi du bruit de la rue ...

Une copie de celle de Milan
Non loin du palais royal, cette galerie s'ouvre sur 4 rues. Il faut lever le nez pour voir la verrière. L'architecte Emanuele Rocco s'est inspiré de celle de Milan...

La galerie est tout aussi belle que celle de Milan avec son magnifique dôme (Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II). Le Mc Donald vient malheureusement un peu casser l'ambiance majestueuse. Néanmoins à traverser lors d'un passage à Naples.

Petite soeur de celle de Milan, elle se distingue par l'aspect moins luxueux de ses magasins (Mc Do...).
Extérieur en rénovation.
