It is worth spending a day to visit and walk around Milan Cathedral.

Milan is not only about football ⚽️, it is a big city in northern 🇮🇹 Italy. Different from southern 🇮🇹 Italy, where there is the Metropolitan City of Rome and Roma Capital that balances the north and the south, Milan and Milan Metropolitan City are also important strongholds of Italian Catholicism ⛪️. You have to visit the famous Milan Cathedral. 🔱Key to history The construction of Milan Cathedral began in 1386, but it took nearly 500 years of continuous construction to become what it is today. Milan Cathedral is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and the second largest cathedral in the world after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Napoleon was crowned King of Italy here in 1806. 🔱Milan Cathedral is of great significance to Italian Catholicism 🔷🔹High religious status As the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Milan, the Diocese of Milan is one of the largest dioceses in the world. It is one of the most important Catholic churches in Italy and occupies an extremely important position in the religious world. 🔷🔹Great historical significance The famous Edict of Milan was promulgated here, legalizing Christianity and making it the state religion of the Roman Empire. This event is a milestone in the history of the development of Christianity. 🔷🔹Excellent artistic value It is one of the largest Gothic buildings in the world. The building itself and its exquisite interior decorations such as sculptures, murals and stained glass windows demonstrate a very high artistic standard and carry profound religious and cultural connotations. It is an outstanding representative of Italian Catholic art. 🔱⛪️Inside and outside the church From the outside, Milan Cathedral does not appear tall, but its highest spire is 108 meters high. An important attraction of Milan Cathedral is the nearly 6,000 statues on the facade and the roof, which are dazzling, but the interior decoration of the church is not particularly eye-catching. 🗓Itinerary: The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is not far away. If you are not a believer, you can visit it all in one day. The Last Supper and La Scala Opera House are a little further away, while the Royal Palace of Milan is closer.
