ROCKY'S ITALY: The Duomo of Milan

Begun in 1386, the Duomo of Milan, also known as Milan Cathedral, took nearly 6 centuries to complete. It is one of the largest and most Gothic churches in Italy. The gilded statue at the top of its central spire is known as “La Madonnina” and is the symbol of the city of Milan.

Stunningly beautiful!

[@robkimberlin959]

Beautiful? Nicholas Pevsner dismisses the facade as “a mechanical piling up of details.”But as with the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it’s hard to imagine Milan without it.
