Teatro di San Carlo (Theatre of Saint Charles), as originally named by the Bourbon monarchy but today known simply as the Teatro di San Carlo, is an opera house in Naples, Italy, connected to the Royal Palace and adjacent to the Piazza del Plebiscito. It is the oldest continuously active venue for opera in the world, having opened in 1737, decades before either Milan's La Scala or Venice's La Fenice.
The opera season runs from late November to July, with the ballet season taking place from December to early June. The house once had a seating capacity of 3,285, but has now been reduced to 1,386 seats.[3] Given its size, structure and antiquity, it was the model for theatres that were later built in Europe.

Galleria Umberto I is a shopping arcade built in Naples between 1887 and 1890 . It is dedicated to Umberto I of Italy , as a tribute to the King and in remembrance of his generous presence during the cholera epidemic of 1884, which demonstrated the need for a "restoration" of the city.
The Galleria Umberto I is one of the most beautiful buildings in Naples and strangely flies under the radar of the usual tourist itineraries of the city. Its grandiose external facade is matched only by its marble floors and amazing glass roof. Its cavernous spaces are occupied by a number of shops and offices while just outside are the Teatro San Carlo and the busy Via Toledo.
