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 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.
The Duomo is approximately 10km from our school another fantastic
building.!!!!!!!!!!!
