Galleria Vittorio Emanuele - Milan, Italy - Great Buildings of the World on Waymarking.com

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele is a huge upscale shopping mall located at Milan's most famous tourist attraction...the Duomo.

It was designed in 1861 and constructed 1865 to 1877.

According to the Great Buildings OnLine website (visit link) :

"The 640-foot-long north/south axis of its cruciform plan links the secular Piazza della Scala on the north to the spiritual Piazza della Duomo on the south. In 1877, a triumphal arch was added to the southern end of this cruciform gallery, thereby formally terminating this covered urban link between the opera house and the cathedral. The iconography of the inlaid mosaic concourse and the painted pendentives of the 164-foot octagonal dome, raised over the crossing, represents the union of church and state which first came into being with the triumphant nationalist revolution of 1848."
