Why is it feminine?

Galeries is feminine because it derives from the Italian "galleria," which comes from Medieval Latin "galilea." The feminine gender of the Latin source word was preserved through Romance language evolution into French, where -erie endings typically indicate feminine nouns. However, the primary reason for its feminine gender in French is the productive feminine suffix "-erie" rather than the preservation of Latin gender alone.
