Description
No doubts that the Duomo of Milan is the most exceptional architecture in Milan. Enjoy a 2-hour guided tour and prepare yourself for an exciting journey through the history of one of the main symbols of Catholicism.
It took five centuries to complete the Duomo and the result is an extraordinary combination of forms, where white marble became the protagonist and the interpreter of Lombard Gothic style. Located at the top of the Cathedral, the famous Madonnina (Virgin Mary) controls the city and becomes a sort of protectress and undisputed symbol.

During the final step of the tour, you will enjoy a breathtaking view from the Terraces.
