☆☆☆ In Explore 23-01-2025 ☆☆☆ „Gallery of the Ancients“ (Galleria degli antichi) in Sabbioneta, Lombardy, Italy. This is the lower level of the building. The "great corridor in the castle square", as it was originally called, was built between 1583 and 1586. It is an external structure in exposed stone consisting, on the lower level, of twenty-six arches. Total length is approximately 97 metres. In 2008, Sabbioneta, together with Mantua was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, due to its exceptional nature as a newly founded city built in just over 30 years by Prince Vespasiano I Gonzaga and, as a recognition of its perfect example of practical application of Renaissance urban planning theories.
