1. The Cathedral is by far the most important, famous, and well-known church in Milan! The monument before you, this marble colossus, this white mountain full of sharp points called "spires", has a style all its own that is unmatched in Europe, although for convenience it can be considered a Gothic church. The Cathedral is the symbol of Milan, and usually a tour of the city starts here.

2. The Vittorio Emanuele Gallery is the most evocative and artistic shopping area in Milan! The most "Milanese" stroll you can go on is the one that takes you from the Cathedral to La Scala or vice versa: this connection between the two symbolic monuments at the heart of Milan is guaranteed by the spectacular gallery, a masterpiece of architecture and functionality.

3. La Scala is the most important theater in Italy and one of the most prestigious theaters in the world! The façade is preceded by a portico that was used to cover the indoor passage of those reaching the theater in carriages. The building's upper frame with a triangular shape similar to that of an ancient temple shows a relief depicting the chariot of Apollo, the ancient Greek god of art and music.

4. Sforza Castle is one of the most fascinating monuments in Milan! It is an actual castle with towers, battlements, patrols, and moats. Most of the castles in European cities are placed in locations that are high up and external to the city: Sforza Castle is instead located right in the center of Milan. Of course, it was also a fortress that defended the city from enemies. Just think, some parts of its walls are 7 meters wide!

5. You should know that the Darsena area is one of the most intriguing parts of Milan! Considering how Milan doesn't have a large navigable river, over the centuries it has become surrounded by a network of canals and water installations, taking advantage of the Lambro and Olona Rivers and diverting the courses of larger rivers such as the Ticino River in order to cross kilometers and kilometers of countryside. Just think, even the great Leonardo da Vinci admired and was astonished by the intelligence with which Lombardy exploited the canal system, and he himself contributed greatly by designing improvements and expansions.

   Vorbeifahrt

6. Brera is one of the most characteristic neighborhoods of Milan! The Brera district will definitely be one of the areas of Milan that will most fascinate you thanks to its cobbled streets, ancient palaces, hidden gardens, and literary and artistic atmosphere influenced by the main Art Gallery and the Academy of Fine Arts. I'd also like to point out two interesting Gothic churches in the district, Saint Maria del Carmine and Saint Mark's.

About Mailand

Mailand, Italiens stilvolles Kraftzentrum für Mode und Design: gotischer Dom, Leonardos Abendmahl und Abende an den Kanälen.

Der Dom, ein Wald aus weißen Marmortürmchen und Statuen, dessen Vollendung Jahrhunderte dauerte, beherrscht das Stadtzentrum, und seine Dachterrassen führen mitten zwischen die Fialen. Daneben führt die glasüberdachte Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II zur Scala, und im Castello Sforzesco befinden sich Museen, darunter Michelangelos letzte Skulptur, die Pietà Rondanini.
