This has got to be the most unique mall in the world. It's called Vulcano Buono (The Good Volcano) and it's located in Nola Italy, near Naples. It's shaped like a volcano, the slope covered in vegetation to keep the place cool and special skylights to use as much natural light as possible. The stores themselves are essentially built in a (multi-level) circle under the slope, while the 'crater' creates a 150m (500ft) wide centre plaza, space for an outdoor theatre, a market, and a sloping pine forest.
Make sure when you visit this site, you check out all of the photos. One picture does not do this place justice.
Here is the partially translated site for the mall itself.
