    Milan Cathedral
    milan
    The Cathedral of Milan or the Duomo is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world and one of the most essential places to visit in Milan.
    This Gothic cathedral, which began to be built at the end of the 14th century and took five centuries to complete, stands out for its pink white marble façade and for its terrace with spirals decorated with niches, sculptures and reliefs, and crowned by a statue.
    In its imposing interior is the Statue of Bartholomew the Apostle, a huge organ and a marble altar in the Renaissance style, which keeps in the back a Nail of the Cross of Christ, although our favorite place in the cathedral is the terrace , from which you will enjoy incredible panoramic views of the historic center between statues and pinnacles. A good option to avoid queues at the most visited monument in the city is to book this quick entrance with access to the terrace or this tour with a guide in Spanish, which will allow you to better understand the history of the cathedral.

    In the second half of the 20th century, the Fabbrica undertook the complete, structural and conservative restoration of some complex parts of the Duomo. You can visit hire a minibus for family, the sixties and seventies saw the Veneranda Fabbrica engaged in works on the façade, with the second restoration carried out on the spire after another one that had been carried out in 1840.

    Inside the cathedral, the complex static restoration of the tiburium pillars was certainly one of the most complex interventions, while at the end of the century the apse and the façade were restored. Later, the Great Spire was restored for the third time. In 2016, the exciting challenge of restoring the tiburium and the dome began.
