Milan 2013 - Piazza del Duomo

The Piazza del Duomo is literally at the centre of Milan. This square occupies the area that is the most central location in the City since its founding. There are 2 main attractions here - the Duomo di Milano, and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - Milan's famous covered shopping arcade. When we arrived there the sun was just coming up. It was a great sight to see the amber sunlight slowly falling on the square.

The Duomo di Milan is considered to be one of the biggest cathedrals in the World and also one of the most beautiful in Italy. Taking almost 400 years to complete, it is fully covered in pale coloured marble and looks truly magnificent.
