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.

Sur la via Toledo en face du quartier Espagnol avec ses restaurants et d son ambiance Napolitaine typique s'ouvre une galerie en croix de la fin du 19° avec une imposante coupole en son centre , elle est aussi majestueuse que celle de Milan .
Le revêtement de sol ,la verrière et lla décoration des encadrements de fenêtre sont à observer.
Des boutiques animent le rez de chaussée.

Beautiful building with all its windows. It is worth at least a small walk of day and night!
