Pictures of Milan

Milan is the largest industrial and commercial town in the north of Italy With its three universities, its theatres, its museums, its fairs, its fashion, its industries, its offices and its stock exchange, it is the only Italian metropolis to appear in the row of the cultural, industrial and financial modern capitals. The city harmoniously developed around the medieval place of the Dome.

 

 

 

 

The cathedral (Duomo), head of work of the blazing Gothic, started in 1386 with Gian Galeazzo Visconti, finished in 1813 on order of Napoleon, it is the largest Gothic church in Italy. The gallery Victor Emmanuel with the arcades of iron and glass leads to the famous opera of Scala. More to the east the Sforza palace, legacy of the Rebirth, lets on an immense park. The convent of the church Santa Maria delle Grazie shelters the remains of Leonardo da Vinci.
