Continuing with the marvel of Milan Duomo from the last post. The entire church was filled with so so many sculptures. Esp the exterior is unbelievable. In total, there are more than 4000 sculptures incl the spires, outer walls, interior pillars etc!

Your pictures are so beautiful! I always love looking at stained glass in old buildings and I love that you were able to capture the colors and lighting. I love historical things, so being able to admire what they found in various museums would be such a fun, cultural adventure!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Milan yet, but would love visit someday. I am big fan of stained glass and sculptures. The church looked amazing. I would love to spend my time in that square and see the world passing by.
ReplyDeleteI only got to see the Duomo from the outside so the rest of your pictures are very cool. I'd love to climb it and see the view from the top! Very cool pictures of the ancient part too!
ReplyDeleteThe stained glass is so impressive. I would love to see it up close. I imagine it changes with the sun too. Beautiful photos
ReplyDeleteYou certainly had an extensive tour.
ReplyDeleteYes some parts for shopping were disappointing but I did like the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele 11 an absolutely gorgeous old building. Didn't buy anything though! Too expensive for me.
I'm planning on visiting Milan next year as there are some great deals on flights from the UK. I love historical sites and old architecture - so much more time, effort, and skill went into the buildings of old. The Duomo will be on my 'must-see' list of sights in Milan - your pictures are lovely. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour photos of Milan Duomo are stunning! I especially loved the details of the sculptures. The stained glass windows are marvelous!
ReplyDeleteThis is the second chance I have had to appreciate the amazing engineering structural edifice in Milan, Italy. Your visit or travel to this place gives us the second experience for we have no chance or opportunity to visit this place, especially like me which I believe have no chance to go abroad and visit the place like this one.
ReplyDeleteThe architecture of the buildings are so amazing! Lovely place to visit..
ReplyDeleteI think i will visit milan and stay where the pigeons are and see the musicians thats add sound of music to the air which as you mentioned the best way to experience Milan. Thanks! 😊
ReplyDeleteI still have yet to make it to Milan but I'd love to see the Duomo in person one day, I've heard that it is just as beautiful as its counterparts in Pisa and Florence!
ReplyDeleteThose sculptures are amazing! Would also love to see the museum and learn more about its history!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so beautiful and detailed! :) The Duomo in Milano is breathtaking, as several churches in Italy. Hope to visit Milano again very soon! :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos! I have not visited much in Milano except to see The Last Supper painting but hopefully will get there again one day soon!
ReplyDeleteThis post was a great read, Bhushavali! Would you recommend not visiting the Fashion District? What can I check instead?
ReplyDelete4000 statues, that is a huge number! I agree with you, I find cathedrals a bit eerie as well. Hopefully I can visit Milan and the Duomo myself one day.
ReplyDeleteThat infrastructure is STUNNING! The level of details is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis Duomo di Milano is one of the most spectacular churches I have visited. Did not get a chance to visit those ancient crypts so thanks for featuring them. Going to the elegant mall beside it featured a Leonardo da Vinci exhibit when I was there, and that was also very informative.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Milan, even though I have bought plane tickets twice and I still didn`t have the chance to go. I bet the view from Duomo is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been to Milan yet, but Duomo looks absolutely breathtaking!
ReplyDeletesuch an amazing place. just seeing your photos excites me to visit this place. i really kinda envy you for being able to visit these places now and then.. hope you get to share more of your travel experiences in the future in this blog. :)
ReplyDeleteThe sculptures are really amazing. It's great that they were able to preserve it; in many places we've visited, these works of art are damaged or even destroyed. The stained glass also looks really cool.
ReplyDeleteDuomo is amazing. I love that churches like this make a point to preserve artwork, stonework, stained glass etc. They really do protect so much history and glimpses into the past.
ReplyDeleteThe Duomo is really magnificent. The square teeming with pigeons and people reminded me of Venice. The sculptures are really silent testimony to the great artistic talent of the Roman sculptors of yore.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Milan before (or Italy for that matter) but am sure I will appreciate the historical landmarks like those you experienced. They look great and I could spend hours reading about the history in the museum. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMilan is an industrial city and even though they have fantastic fashion shows during the season, it isn't as beautiful as some other cities in Italy. That said, they have great business and creative energy there.
