Duomo (Cathedral)

The Milan Duomo is the world's largest Gothic cathedral and the city's symbol. Begun in 1386 and taking nearly five centuries to complete, the church is from the outside an incredible building, notable as much for its decoration as its size. The gloomy interior holds, among other objects, the golden statue "La Madonnina" which is the main attraction inside and as well in the heart of every inhabitant. Even a popular song has been dedicated to it! The Duomo is full of Gothic spires in white Candoglia marble whereas the interior is enormous and a bit intimidating. First service is at 7.00 in the morning, the best is to be there before, then there is nobody in and you normally can enjoy the whole cathedral all alone. But it would be lovely to spend time with a partner because its beautiful you would want to enjoy it with someone.
