Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert
The Sint-Hubertusgalerij (French: Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert) (also known as Koninginnegalerij; French: Galerie de la Reine) in Brussels is a glazed shopping arcade that preceded the more famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan and The Passage in St Petersburg. Like them it has twin regular façades with distant origins in Vasari's long narrow street-like courtyard of the Uffizi, Florence, with glazed arcaded shopfronts separated by pilasters and two upper floors, all in an Italianate Cinquecento style, under a lightly arched glass-paned roof with a delicate cast-iron framework.
