1. Cathedral of Milan

Stand in front of the Cathedral of Milan (Duomo) to take in one of the largest churches in the world. The many intricate spires of the late Gothic building are truly impressive, and it’s little wonder that this structure took almost six centuries to build. The Duomo is an icon in Milan. It is instantly recognisable in the heart of the city, where it covers almost 12,000 square metres (40,000 square feet).
