P.za Duomo
Palazzo Reale
May 23, 1998

More than 500 years in the making (1386 to 1887), the Duomo dominates Milan’s central square. It is Italy’s largest and most intricate example of Gothic architecture and a tribute to five centuries of artists, artisans, architects, builders, engineers, wealthy and ordinary citizens who contributed to its construction. Inside, five large naves are separated by colossal pillars and framed by the rare beauty and delicate artistry of the long stained-glass windows.

Adorned with more than three thousand statues, Perego’s Madonnina, who has kept her vigil from the cathedral’s highest spire since 1744, is the most loved.

From the roof terraces, visitors may examine the Duomo’s spires and statues while enjoying a breath-taking view of Milan and, on a clear day, the snow-topped ring of the nearby Bergamo Alps.
