Lonely Planet review

Doppelganger of Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, the trick to appreciating this mammoth glass-and-steel masterpiece is to walk with your head tilted up: its grand central dome soars to a lofty 56 metres. The mysterious stars of David imbedded in the glasswork are said to suggest local Jewish investment in the building. Complete with a sumptuous marble floor, the Galleria makes a surreal setting for impromptu late-night soccer games.
