Duomo of Milan or cathedral of Milan is located in historic centre of milan especific in the piazza del

duomo and is one of the most beautiful cathedrals of the world.

The impressive Duomo is the symbol of Milan and their proportions are immense.Dominates the square that

haves his name (Piazza del Duomo in italian ) and from their roofs are contemplates a wonderful panoramic

view of the city.

Dazzling and ethereal: The Duomo is full

of Gothic sculpture, gargoyles , pinnacles and

spiers, to the point of receiving comments

as derogatory ('' looks like a hedgehog,'' said D.H.

Lawrence) as laudatory ('' is a poem in marble '', according to mark

twain). Worth climbing to the roof (by stairs or lift ) to enjoy the beautiful view

of milan, on clear daysyou can see the Swiss Alps.

Controversial building:  Builing work began in 1386 under the auspices

of  ambitious gian galazzo visconti, who was

determined to build the largest temple in

 Italy was consecrated in 1418,the continuous

building incomplete for four centuries more. the facade was begun in the

seventeenth century, but concluded so

great controversy was not completed until 1812

under the rule of Napoleon.

Through darkness: the Duomo is 157 meters long,

33 wide at the ship and 92 transept, the roofs are

decorated with 2,245 statues, 135

spiers and 96 gargoyles and interior has the capacity

of 40,000 people. this madonnia traced 

by a gilded copper statue of 1774.constantly with the gleaming white facade,

the interior is gloomy, impression accentuated by the moles of funerary

monuments and the 52 pillars that define its five

ships. between the monuments

and tombs highlights the extraordinary statue flayed Saint Bartholomew (1562).
