A Beautiful Cathedral
Milan’s Cathedral “Duomo di Milano” started being built in 1386 and took nearly 6 centuries to complete. A new canal system and thousands of workers were required to construct it, and today it stands as a dedication to the Nativity of St Mary.
This gorgeous Gothic building has a stunning architecture that you can spend hours simply admiring. The artwork doesn’t just stop with the building itself; there are several masterpieces housed inside. There are many archaeological excavations, statues and monuments to discover once beneath the roof of this grand place.

Why Visit Duomo di Milano?
WhyAs with all cathedrals, there’s an enthralling story behind it. You’ll want to hear about it on a guided tour. But here’s a small spoiler: the small red light at the top of the altar is said to be where one of the nails from Jesus’ crucifixion lives.
This cathedral is a wonder to behold because of how contradictory it is: grand, solemn and vast whilst simultaneously delicate, airy and graceful.
