Impériale Arcade Galeries

Impériale Arcade Galeries (Greek: Αυτοκρατορικού Γκαλερί Στοά, Af̱tokratorikoú Nkalerí Stoá) is a glazed shopping arcade in Atlantis, Diadochia. The Arcade is one of oldest shopping malls in Pandos, being established in 1806. The Arcade is housed within a four-story double arcade in central Atlantis on Konstantinoupoleos Avenue near to its sister arcade, the Chalinarión Arcade.

Architecture

The structure consists of two glass-vaulted arcades intersecting in an octagon covering the street connecting the Konstantinoupoleos Avenue to the neighboring street. The arcade is covered by an arching glass and cast iron roof. The central octagonal space is topped with a glass dome. The arcade consists of two major sections, each more than 100 meters in length (respectively called Galerie de l'empereur / Στοά αυτοκράτορα, meaning Emperor's Gallery, and Galerie de l'impératrice / Στοά αυτοκράτειρας, meaning Empress's Gallery), and a smaller side gallery (Galerie des Princes / Στοά των Πρίγκιπες, meaning Gallery of the Princes). The main sections (Emperor and Empress's Gallery) are separated by a colonnade.

Shops, restaurants and hotels

The Arcade is often nicknamed Le salon de l'Atlantide (Atlantis' drawing room), due to its numerous shops and importance as a common Atlantean meeting and dining place.

As of 2014, the arcade principally contains luxury retailers selling haute couture, jewelry, books and paintings, as well as restaurants, cafés, and bars.
