galleria
Glass-roofed passage
A galleria is a large enclosed shopping area, typically featuring a glass roof or atrium and upscale retail stores.
The term evokes the grand covered arcades of European cities, particularly the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.
American malls adopted the name to suggest elegance: We spent the afternoon browsing shops at the galleria.
