Introduction

Milan Cathedral is one of the world's most magnificent and gorgeous Gothic churches. This marble church, pure white and covered with countless spires and statues, took centuries to build, a symbol of Milan and a stunning, gorgeous sight. Milan Cathedral stands on the Cathedral Square in central Milan, one of the largest, most magnificent and gorgeous Gothic churches in Italy and the world, and Milan's undisputed symbol. Immense and ornate, built of white marble over centuries, its most astonishing feature is the dense, exquisite Gothic decoration: the top is covered with over 130 tall white spires (each topped with a statue), and the facade and walls are studded with over 3,000 fine marble statues, reliefs and windows, pure white, spire upon spire, statues everywhere, gorgeous and sacred, like a flawless white marble masterpiece. Atop the highest spire stands a golden statue of the Virgin (Milan's protector). A unique experience is climbing to the rooftop terrace, walking among the spires and statues, and overlooking the city. Visiting Milan and admiring the gorgeous, stunning Milan Cathedral is a stunning sight.
