Destinations

Milan’s heart in marble and light

Towering over the city in intricate Gothic splendor, the Duomo di Milano is more than just a cathedral—it’s a symbol of Milanese pride, craftsmanship, and perseverance across centuries.

The Duomo of Milan tells a story of faith and art that spans over six centuries. Construction work on the Duomo of Milan probably began in 1386 when the style of Gothic cathedrals had reached its peak. Private guided tours are available to discover the Cathedral, the Archaeological Area, the Rooftops and the Museum.

Insider Insight

While the rooftop terraces of the Duomo are a must-see, here’s a pro tip: visit during sunset for an unforgettable view of Milan’s skyline and the Alps on a clear day. For a deeper dive, book a private “Behind the Statues” tour that includes entry to sections normally closed to the public.

Gothic grandeur that touches the sky—and your soul.
