With its dome-shaped, glass-roofed ceiling and exquisite interior façade decorated with colourful mosaics and ornate engravings, the Galleria Umberto I is undoubtedly Naple’s most beautiful modern architectural wonder and one of the city’s most prominent shopping areas. The spacious and airy public shopping arcade is conveniently situated across the San Carlo Opera House in the heart of Naples, and is well-recognised as an iconic landmark for its 125-year-old iron framed and glass covered dome and archways.

Named after the King of Italy (Umberto I) at the time of construction, the massive architectural structure remains as the epicentre of Neapolitan civic life with its multi-story arcade featuring several prestigious luxury bands (shopaholics unite!) and wide selection of top-notch restaurants and cafes to relax in. Standing at the centre of the Galleria, visitors are treated to a 360-degree view of the arcade’s stunning, historic design, making it a must-see travel destination for all who visit the lovely city of Naples.
