Duomo di Milano – the beginning

Now we’re at the highlight of any trip to Milan, Italy – the Duomo. The Duomo, according to Wikipedia, is the 4th largest church in the world. It is massive. And awesome. And I have lots of photos.

This is the back. I like how they even try to hide the elements under construction with style.

There’s a surprising amount of color in the stonework, although it doesn’t show up in many photos.

There is detail to be seen everywhere.

And the coolest part of the Duomo, which I didn’t know on my first trip to Milan, is that you can go up on the roof – which is possibly even more impressive than inside.

Lots more to come…
