Umberto I Gallery – entrance San Carlo Street

The Umberto I Gallery, built at the end of the 19th century, is the most famous gallery in Naples Italy. Here you can enjoy a good coffee in the bars, enjoy the shop windows, or visit the pictorial beauties of the eighteenth-century paintings of the Church of Santa Brigida. The gallery has imposing entrance arches on the outside and two streets on the inside with an elegant floor with marble inlays that cross orthogonally under the dome. Admiring the majesty of the Umberto I Gallery in Naples Italy it is difficult to believe that it was built in just 3 years. Begun in 1887 and finished in 1890, it was built in the same years in which, in Paris, Gustave Eiffel built his famous Eiffel Tower. The Umberto I Gallery in Naples had nothing to envy to the monument with which it rivaled for the beauty and complexity of the structure. The numbers of this construction made heads spin: maximum length 147 meters, width 15, height 34 and a half, the top of the dome at 57 meters.

Shops that follow one after the other – some even hidden in the courtyards of the ancient buildings – the kindness and sympathy of the sellers, the love that shines through the eyes of the presaprai masters for their art, and the all Neapolitan cheerfulness that breathe is something unique to experience at least once in your life.

Toledo Street

Toledo Street has been, since the 16th century, one of the most beautiful and important arteries of the city of Naples Italy both from a commercial, cultural and historical point of view. It was built in 1536 at the behest of the viceroy Pedro Alvarez de Toledo. It is 1.2 km long and, starting from Dante Square, leads to Trieste and Trento Square. Among the main noble palaces you will find Cirella Palace, Zevallos Palace, Lieto Palace, De Rosa and Trabucco Palace. Those upstream still retain the original appearance of the sixteenth century with narrow alleys that rise towards the mountain, are still known as Spanish Quarters. On Toledo Street in Naples Italy there are elegant shops, department stores and the headquarters of the major banks in the ancient noble palaces. Always animated by a lively crowd, it is the heart of the city “struscio” (which in addition to them the name used throughout Italy for the walk on the main street on holidays is also used to define the Holy Week walk on the occasion of the visit to Sepulchres, right on Toledo Street). On both sides, populous neighborhoods grew. They were built to accommodate the Spanish military garrisons […]
