Milan

                     This is the largest Gothic Cathedral in the World.

 The Milan Cathedral took 6 centuries to complete ~ it is third largest cathedral in the world.   We saw the largest cathedral = St. Peters when we were in Rome. 
The second largest cathedral = Seville, Spain 2013 . 
Awesome structures !

Side view...

Inside ...52 of these columns ! This Duomo was built to accommodate all the residents of Milan at the time...40,000 folks!

We took the elevator up + walked around on the top of this fabulous building!

Restoration is a "forever" project for Milan Duomo.

Glass covered Galleria ~ built 1861. Two glass arches.
High end shopping ! 
'tis certainly the place to be seen in Milan.

 

We toured their La Scala Opera House ~ 1778

   

Milan has a new underground transit system...  sooooo easy to use !

Or...these street cars from 1841 are also available .
