1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #513 - Duomo di Milano, Milan

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #513

- Duomo di Milano, Milan, Italy 
 
 
(It is Italy's largest cathedral, and it is our 4th time here. But it is our 1st time scaling the steps to head up to the top called the Duomo Cathedral Terraces. From here, everything looks new. There is even a runway at the very top of the cathedral. Building began in 1386 and took over 600 years to complete. Looking at all the intricacies and the more than 4000 statues and scultpures here - the most in one building in the world - one would not be surprised by how long it took. At  night, with the lightings, the cathedral is literally painted in gold - magnificent)
