The larger Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, Italy followed in the 1860s and is closer to large modern malls in spaciousness.
Many other large cities created similar malls in the late 19th century and early 20th century along similar lines, one of the best examples being the Cleveland Arcade.
Now it is fashionable to build open-air malls again, and some enclosed malls have been opened up, such as the Sherman Oaks Galleria.
