Pasajul Macca-Vilacrosse, Fork-shaped commercial gallery in central Bucharest, Romania.

The passage features yellow glass-covered arcades splitting into two branches named Macca and Vilacrosse, connected by a central rotunda with shops.

Built in 1891 by architect Felix Xenopol, the structure replaced the former Campineanu Inn and became the first location of Bucharest's Stock Exchange.

The passage represents the European architectural influence in Romania, with its design following the style of similar commercial galleries in Paris.

Located between Calea Victoriei and Lipscani district, the passage contains restaurants, cafes, and shops beneath its glass-covered roof.

The unusual fork shape resulted from the central Pesht Hotel owner's refusal to sell, forcing architects to design the passage around the building.
