This is not the gallery of a royal palace...

It's a shopping mall in Italy - thread 🧵 Image
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a historic Milan landmark and the oldest active shopping gallery in Italy.

Designed by architect Giuseppe Mengoni, the mall was constructed between 1865 and 1877.

It is named after Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy. Image
The structure has two glass-vaulted arcades intersecting in an octagon, covering the street between Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Scala.

The street is sheltered by a glass and cast iron roof, typical of 19th-century arcades.

A glass dome tops the central octagonal space. Image

1. Sverd i fjell, Norway Image
2. Derinkuyu underground city, Turkey

Extending to a depth of approximately 85 meters, it is large enough to have once sheltered up to 20,000 people, along with their livestock and food stores.

What could have pushed humans to build something like this thousands of years ago? Image
3. Castle of Vezio, Italy

The gardens of this castle overlooking Lake Como are adorned with chalk sculptures created by tourists each summer, which last until the snow wipes them.

The most beautiful ceilings on Earth 🧵

1. Sainte-Chapelle, Paris (13th century) Image
2. The Sistine Chapel, Vatican City

Michelangelo painted this magnificent ceiling between 1508 and 1512.

As Goethe put it, "without having seen the Sistine Chapel one can form no appreciable idea of what one man is capable of achieving."

3. A real picture of the ceiling of the Sagrada Família

Designed by Antoni Gaudí, it is the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world.

Art critic Rainer Zerbst said "it's probably impossible to find a church building anything like it in the entire history of art." Image
