The Milan Cathedral, right in the heart of Milan, is a jaw-dropping Gothic masterpiece you can’t miss. It’s famous for its intricate details, countless spires, and statues that seem to touch the sky. Inside, you will find stunning stained glass windows and historic artwork that take you back in time. Don’t forget to head up to the rooftop for beautiful views of Milan and even the Alps on a clear day.
The Milan Cathedral, or Duomo di Milano, began construction in 1386 under Gian Galeazzo Visconti and took nearly six centuries to complete. Blending Gothic, Renaissance, and Neo-Gothic styles, it reflects the artistry of countless architects and craftsmen. The cathedral symbolizes Milan’s resilience, witnessing wars, restorations, and cultural shifts. Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned King of Italy here in 1805, further cementing its historical significance. With over 3,400 statues and 135 spires, the Duomo is a testament to artistic and architectural mastery.
