Duomo Cathedral - one of the biggest Gothic Cathedrals in the World.
With 3 museums inside, you can even take an elevator up (or stairs if
you are in good shape!) to walk outside on the roof!
Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II - near the Duomo, this immense covered
area was constructed in honor of the King who unified Italy. Full of restaurants
and shops. Called "Milan's Living Room" because it is a big
meeting point!
Inside
the world-renowned Opera House, the seating capacity is over 2,000.
Sforzesco
Castle is an amazing testament to Milan's history right in the center
of the city. It was home to the mighty Sforza family for years, and hosted
Leonardo Da Vinci for a number of years while he lived in Milan. It is
now full of museums and is used for cultural occasions. Recently lit at
night, it is really some spectacular to see!
The
ancient St. Ambrose Church is dedicated to the patron saint of
the city, who lived in Milan and was bishop there in the 4th century.
He is buried in a crystal crypt under the altar, which the public can
visit.
