Etymology

The term 'galleria' comes from the Italian word 'galleria', which in turn derives from 'gallere', meaning 'gallery' or 'a long room'. The use of the word has evolved over the centuries, originally referring to a covered walkway or passageway in the Renaissance era. By the 18th and 19th centuries, gallerias became associated with shopping and social spaces, particularly in Europe, where grand architectural styles featured open-air markets covered with glass roofs. This architectural design facilitated the blending of indoor and outdoor environments, allowing natural light to fill the space while protecting visitors from the elements. Today, gallerias are prevalent in modern cities worldwide, serving not only commercial purposes but also as cultural and recreational hubs.
