Milan o my love Part 1

Have you see the 米兰的小铁匠 youtube video?

If you havn't watch it, please do so. Click here. Then you can have a better understanding of Milan surrounding and atmosphere.

1st Stop:

Duomo at Piazza del Duomo


Do you know that the Duomo, commonly named as Church or Cathedral in Italy, is 1 of the largest Cathedral in the world? It is rumoured to be the 2nd largest Church in Italy, just after St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City?

It is well known with its Gothic and Neoclassicism style of building art. It is very impressive.

It is built from year 1386 and it took more than 2 centuries for the architectures to complete it.

The main sight of its exterior design is a golden statue of Jesus's Mother Maria Madonna. It is 4.2 meters high, and is accompanied by as much as 138 sharp tower. It is said that 1 of towers is as high as 108 meter. Impressive is it?

Now, let see some of the Duomo photographs that i took during my trip to Italy.

With friends, notice the golden light at the top of Cathedral?
