Tours to Italy

The Duomo in Milan, Italy, is the second largest Roman Catholic cathedral in the world, after the cathedral of Seville. A beautiful masterpiece of gothic architecture, the Duomo of Milan is world-renowned for its enormous size, and elaborate design and style, with wide gates, impressive pillars, vaults and streamlined arches, and intricate and vast interiors. Situated on the main square in the heart of Milan, the Duomo measures approx.108 meters in height and 158 meters in length, and can sit up to 40, 000 people at a time. The cathedral's five great doors are divided by 40 colossal pillars, and its large windows of the choir were once reputed to be the largest in the world. The central door of the structure is sculpted with images of birds and fruits and beasts and insects, which appear like living creatures.

The Duomo also houses several amazing monuments, statues and artworks that never fail to impress its visitors. On your visit to Duomo, you can see a vast collection of ivories, sacred vases in gold and silver, vestments and tapestries, and over three thousand statues, including the statue of Perego's Madonnina, which rests on the highest spire of the cathedral.

Tourists and visitors can also take an elevator up to the rooftop to examine the Duomo's impressive spires and wonderfully sculpted statues, and to enjoy breathtaking views of Milan and the nearby Bergamo Alps.
