The majestic cathedral, towering on the main square, is one of the most visited tourist sites in Milan, which has long become a kind of hallmark of the city. The construction of this grand architectural structure was begun in 1386 and lasted nearly six centuries, with some details only completed by 1965.
Like many temples, Milan Cathedral, or, as it is also called, the Duomo Cathedral, was laid on the site of an old ruined church. Initially, there was a Celtic sanctuary, then the temple of Minerva, the church of Santa Tecla and the church of Santa Maria Maggiore.
History of Milan Cathedral
The creator of the project was the Italian Simone de Orsenigo, but Gothic connoisseurs from Germany and France were invited to build the first Gothic cathedral in Europe.
The main architects of the cathedral changed each other endlessly, until in 1470 this post was taken by Giuniforte Solari, who invited Leonardo and Bramante as consultants. The frequent change of architects led to a mixture of styles - the Gothic was partially diluted by the Renaissance.
The construction of the Milan Cathedral was started in 1386
It was originally planned to be a three-nave building with two chapels made of baked bricks, but soon the plans changed, thanks to which today the heart of Milan is decorated with a huge cathedral with many columns and spiers, made of white Cantolian marble. To transport heavy marble slabs, special channels were built leading from the quarry to the center of Milan.
Due to lack of funds, construction was stopped several times, then resumed again. The main altar of the then unfinished church was consecrated in 1417, but it was opened to the parishioners only in 1572.
The height of the spire with the statue of the Virgin Mary - 105 meters
The modernization of the cathedral continued until the 20th century: at the beginning of the 14th century, the dome was finally completed, by the middle of the century an organ was installed, in 1769 the first spire, decorated with a gilded statue of the Virgin, in 1813 an openwork facade was built.
BlogoItaliano wrote in more detail about the history of the construction of the Cathedral in the article.
Milan Cathedral is the fifth largest in the world and the fourth largest in Europe. In terms of capacity, the Duomo is second only to the Seville Cathedral in Spain, if all the benches are taken out of it, 40 thousand people can be accommodated inside.
From a great height, the building of the cathedral looks like a Catholic cross with a vertical line 158 meters long and a horizontal line 92 meters long.
The cathedral is decorated with 135 spiers directed to the sky, the highest is the spire with a statue of the Virgin Mary, its height is 105 meters.
In the interior, on the facades and spiers of the Milan Cathedral, there are 3,400 statues - these are images of saints, martyrs and prophets, famous historical figures, and Gothic characters - chimeras and gargoyles. One of the walls is decorated with a sculpture that became the prototype of the American Statue of Liberty.
The main shrine of the Cathedral is the nail with which Christ was crucified
The main shrine of the cathedral is the nail with which Christ was crucified. Every year on the Day of the Exaltation of the Cross of the Lord (September 14), the Archbishop of Milan removes the nail from its place under the dome to demonstrate the relic to the parishioners.
Inside the cathedral, frescoes of the 15th century, paintings by Italian masters of the 16th-17th centuries dedicated to religious themes, fragments of ancient buildings that existed on this site before the Duomo have been preserved.
The cathedral has a sundial installed at the end of the 18th century. They are a metal strip that stretches along the floor of the cathedral from the entrance through the entire room. These clocks do not just indicate the onset of noon, thanks to errors in their readings in the 20th century, it was discovered that the foundation of the building began to sag over time.
The facades of the Cathedral are decorated with images of saints, martyrs and prophets.
There are observation platforms on the roof, the visitors of which have the opportunity not only to admire beautiful views Milan, but also up close to appreciate the elegance of the spiers and the sculptures that adorn them.
In May 1805, the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte, who ascended the throne of Italy, took place in the Milan Cathedral. To commemorate this event, one of the spiers was decorated with a statue of the emperor.
Today, the cathedral is the center of not only the religious, but also the cultural life of the fashionable capital - concerts of both spiritual and ordinary secular music are often organized here.
Tickets and opening hours
The Cathedral is open to visitors daily, except January 1, May 1 and Christmas Day from 8 am to 7 pm, the last tourists are allowed in no later than 50 minutes before closing.
Since 2015, visiting the Cathedral has become paid. The most budget ticket costs 3 Euros and you can also see the Church of San Gottardo and the Museum of the Cathedral. For children from 6 to 12 years old, the visit is cheaper - 2 Euros, and for kids under 6 years old - free of charge.
In addition to regular tickets, there is also the possibility of visiting, which additionally includes the Duomo Archaeological Zone, but tickets for this option are more expensive - 7 Euros.
The Cathedral is adorned with 135 spiers pointing to the sky.
Many travelers who come to Milan want to go up to the famous terrace of the Cathedral to see the city center from a bird's eye view. There is a separate fee for this, and the cost of tickets depends on which way you want to go upstairs - by stairs or by elevator.
Prices for adults - 9 (on the steps) and 13 Euro (on the elevator). For children from 6 to 12 years old - 4.5 and 7 Euro, respectively. Children under 6 years old are free.
Finally, those who are not ready to waste time in several queues at once and want to see everything at once can purchase the Duomo Pass. It allows you to see the Cathedral, San Gottardo, the Duomo Museum and the terrace with the option of lift access. Clarify the details and the current cost of the Duomo Pass
- insanely atmospheric, sophisticated and scattered, calm and loud, in general, a contradictory city. Everyone who found out that I was going to spend time here uttered a sacred phrase: “Oh, shopping, Duomo, but there’s nothing else to do ....” But I stubbornly refused to believe that there were cities in the world in which there was nothing to do. Well, since everyone says "Duomo", then perhaps we'll start with it.
The Duomo Cathedral is the main, most famous and amazing landmark of Milan. This is the fourth largest cathedral in Europe, an unthinkable temple of white carved marble, towering on the square of the same name, filled with pigeons and Chinese tourists. The jaw itself involuntarily falls off on the floor (or rather on the magnificent paving stones) at the sight of this architectural miracle.
How to get there
The most convenient way to get to the Duomo is by metro - along the yellow line (M3) or along the red line (M1) to the station with the logical name Duomo. A single metro ride costs 1.5 euros, a 10-ride ticket can be bought for 10 euros or a daily card for 4.5 euros. Don't forget to validate your ticket before entering the station! A ticket without a mark is the basis for a fine of 100 euros. The schedule of the metro in Milan is from 6.30 to 0.30, and, by the way, it is arranged quite simply and clearly, you can figure it out in no time!
Official address: Duomo di Milano, Piazza del Duomo, Milano, Italy - if you arrive by car.
Parking in the center of Milan, like in any other metropolis, is expensive and problematic. The cost per hour is about 1.2 euros, but finding a place is not so easy. Payment is possible through the parking meter with coins, using a special Sosta Milano card or via SMS. But if you are going to walk around the center of Milan all day, then it would be best to leave the car in one of the Park & Ride park and ride parks.
When you exit the metro, you immediately find yourself in a crowded square in front of the cathedral, where caring guys will definitely offer you food for birds food for birds, and then demand a fabulous 2-3 euros for it. I was lucky, I didn’t fall for a divorce, although I observed numerous who agreed.
Opening hours and prices
And here I am, unable to resist the desire to take a couple of thousand more photos, standing in front of the Milan Cathedral. It must be said that the cathedral is a whole complex of cultural objects, including the cathedral itself, the crypt inside, the church, the terraces and the roof, the museum and the area of archaeological finds.
You can get to the cathedral every day from 8 am to 7 pm, the terraces and the roof are waiting for guests from 9 am.
The cost of visiting will also depend on the selected set of options.
- minimum - 2 euros (cathedral and everything inside it),
- maximum - 15 euros (church, cathedral, terraces on the elevator, museum and excavations).
Detailed and up-to-date information is always available on the website of the cathedral itself. If you choose English, then everything is clear even to those who are "landan is the capital of the great British." If there is absolutely no desire to search for ticket offices, then tickets can be bought online here.
Guided tours of the cathedral are held regularly in Italian and English. The cost of such an excursion starts from 16 euros per person and is then calculated individually, depending on the composition of the group, language, desired topic of the excursion, etc.
- start your inspection with the interior decoration, and only then, having bought water and incredibly delicious Italian ice cream, go upstairs;
- There are ticket offices on both sides of the cathedral. It is quite probable that at one cash desk tourists stand as if in famine years for sausage, and at the other cash desk there is no queue at all;
- if you plan to visit the cathedral, then you should make sure that your knees, shoulders and stomach are covered. Upon entering the cathedral, you may be asked to dress yourself up.
Duomo outside
The facade of Milan's Duomo can be viewed endlessly. Several thousand white marble sculptures overlook the magnificent city from spiers and turrets. Rumor has it that not only saints, martyrs and philosophers are hiding among them, but also Mussolini and the ancient prototype of the statue of liberty. I honestly tried to see them, but nothing came of it.
Duomo is a real Italian long-term construction. It was laid in 1386, and it was possible to consider the object completed only at the beginning of the nineteenth century, when even Napoleon could not stand it and ordered to complete the facade of the temple. Although, to be honest, it seemed to me that they are still finishing something there ... The Italians involved the nearest neighbors in the construction, so they built, one might say, the whole of Europe, which could not but affect the appearance of the temple. The Cathedral is a timeless compilation of all European Gothic styles. By the way, one of the legends says that the octagonal dome of Jomo is the idea of Leonardo himself, who also took part in the design of the cathedral.
Duomo inside
Looking at the facade made my neck hurt, I have to lift my head too hard and for a long time. A great reason to stop it and go inside. Coolness, light breaking through huge stained-glass windows, columns going to an endless ceiling, amazing sculptures and gloomy canvases - all these are details. inner world a cathedral in which you get lost and dissolve.
Of course, you can take an audio guide (the cost of the guide is from 6 to 9 euros, depending on the set of options) in Russian and meticulously understand the authenticity of the tapestries and floor ornaments ... But, in my opinion, you should just surrender to your inner sense of beauty and wander around the cathedral, noticing billions of details. For example, on the floor of the cathedral you can see a metal strip along which tiles with images of the signs of the zodiac are located. This is a kind of sundial, pointing to the constellation of this time period. Rumor has it that systematic errors in the readings of this clock made it clear that the foundation of the cathedral is slowly sagging. The main relic of the temple is located under the very ceiling - this is a nail from the crucifixion of Christ. Every year, on September 14th, it is revealed to the people with the help of a special mechanism similar to a mechanical cloud.
Roof of Milan Cathedral
The interiors are amazing, but the thought that there is still a roof ahead does not give me peace, which means, rather, rather up! There are 2 options for lifting: by elevator and on foot. The elevator, respectively, is more expensive (from 7 to 13 euros), but faster. A rather narrow and unpicturesque spiral staircase leads upstairs. But, it seems to me, you can climb it quite calmly without much harm to health and nervous system. I did so.
Here, real splendor opens up before your eyes, located on 3 levels of existence. The first, the lowest, is a bustling city with its fashionable boutiques, daily bustle and endless birds. Authentic, noisy and charming.
The roof of the Duomo Cathedral is the best observation deck in Milan, for sure. On the second level, right in front of your eyes, there are dozens of spiers, with a marble audience perched on them. And at the very top, on the third level, there is a shining gilded virgin Mary, the patroness of the city, good-naturedly looking at. You can wander endlessly in this marble jungle, catching the warm Italian breeze and admiring the views.
***
I understood why when talking about Milan, everyone immediately remembers the Duomo. The point is not that there is nothing more to see. It's just that the cathedral is so amazing that everything else fades into the background.
Conclusion: Duomo is a must see! And don't forget the ice cream :)

Good luck and see you on the site and YouTube channel!
The Duomo is Milan's cathedral, named after Santa Maria Nashente. This Gothic temple was built over almost six centuries, and today is the fifth largest cathedral in the world and the largest in Italy. The Duomo is located on the site where the center of the ancient Roman Mediolanum once stood, a confirmation of this is the fact that the modern streets of the city either diverge from the cathedral or surround it. Under the Duomo building, you can see the early Christian baptistery, built back in 335, is one of the oldest Christian baptisteries in Europe.
History of the construction of the Duomo
In 1386, Archbishop Antonio da Saluzzo began the construction of the cathedral, which coincided with the coming to power in Milan of Gian Galeazzo Visconti. The first architect of the project was Simone da Orsenigo, who planned to build a cathedral in the Lombard Gothic style. However, Visconti wanted to follow the fashion trends of European architecture, and therefore invited the French engineer Nicolas de Bonaventure, who added the "radiant Gothic" style - a French style not typical for Italy. He also decided that the brick structure should be finished with marble. In 1402, Gian Galeazzo died - by this time the cathedral was only half completed, and construction was "frozen" almost until the end of the century.
At the beginning of the 16th century, during the reign of Ludovico Sforza, the dome of the temple was completed, and its interiors were decorated with 15 statues depicting saints, preachers, soothsayers and other characters of the Bible. The external decoration of the cathedral for a long time remained without any decorations, with the exception of Guglietto del Amadeo ("Amadeo's little spire") - a Renaissance element that harmonized well with the Gothic appearance of the church. Despite the fact that the cathedral was not completed, it was actively used for its intended purpose during the Spanish rule in Milan. In 1552, Giacomo Antegnati was commissioned to build a large organ for church choirs, and Giuseppe Meda worked on decorating the altar of the cathedral. A little later, the famous Trivulzio chandelier of the 12th century appeared here.
After Carlo Borromeo became archbishop of Milan, all non-church elements were removed from the Duomo, including the graves of Giovanni, Barnabo and Filippo Maria Visconti, Francesco I and his wife, Ludovico Sforza and other former rulers of the city. Pellegrino Pellegrini was appointed chief architect - together with the archbishop, they wanted to give the cathedral a Renaissance look, which was supposed to strengthen its Italian origin, and "suppress" Gothic architecture, which was then perceived as alien. Since the façade of the cathedral was still unfinished, Pellegrini designed it in Romanesque style with columns, obelisks and a large tympanum. However, this project never came to fruition.
At the end of the 16th century, the presbytery was rebuilt in the Duomo and new altars and baptistery were added, and in 1614 Francesco Brambilla made wooden choirs for the throne.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the foundation of the new facade of the Duomo was laid, work continued until 1638: five portals and two central windows were erected, and ten years later a revolutionary decision was made to return the cathedral to its original Gothic appearance. In 1762, the Milan Cathedral acquired one of its outstanding details - the spire of the Madonnina, which rose to a dizzying height of 108.5 meters. It is interesting that today the inhabitants of the city determine the weather by this spire - if it is clearly visible from a distance, then the weather is good (given the damp climate of Milan, the spire is usually hidden in fog).
Only at the beginning of the 19th century, the facade of the Duomo was finally completed - this happened thanks to Napoleon, who was to be crowned in the cathedral as King of Italy. Architect Carlo Pellicani Jr. added some neo-Gothic details to the façade and added a statue of Napoleon to the top of one of the spiers. Subsequently, the missing arches and spiers were completed, statues were installed on the south wall, and in the middle of the 19th century, the old windows were replaced with new ones. The final touches to the appearance of the Duomo were added already in the 20th century: on January 6, 1965, the last gates were opened - this date is considered the official date of completion of the construction of the cathedral.

The Gothic Milan Cathedral (Duomo) is a grandiose creation of human hands and one of the sights of Italy, as they say, "must see" - that is, a must-see. To visit Milan and not see the cathedral… It's almost impossible!
Indeed, because it is located on the main square of the city of Duomo di Milano, next to the Galleria Victor Emmanuel II. highest point of the cathedral - the golden statue of the Madonna, directed to heaven on the highest of the spiers of the cathedral, is clearly visible from many parts of the city.
This carefully designed building is not only the most important landmark in Milan, but also one of the most famous buildings in Europe. Milan Cathedral is the second largest among all Catholic cathedrals in the world.
From the history
The construction of the cathedral began in 1386, although the decision to erect the building was made long before that. Two basilicas stood on the site of the Milan Cathedral for several centuries. However, in 1075 both of them were completely destroyed by a sudden fire.
Work on the cathedral continued for centuries. The main spire, which is crowned with a statue of the Madonna, was topped in 1762. It is the Madonna, by the way, that the entire structure is dedicated to.
Most of the work was completed in 1880.
In 2009, a major reconstruction of the cathedral was completed, and the dazzling facade still delights locals and tourists to this day.
Attractions of the Duomo Cathedral
What should tourists pay attention to first of all?
- On the nail directly above the altar. They say that he was brought from the crucifixion of Christ.
- It is necessary to properly consider the patroness of Milan - the Madonna.
- Do not forget about the roof of the cathedral - the view that opens from it cannot be compared with any in Milan. You can go to the top with the help of a special staircase or using the elevator.
- The next attraction that can capture your attention is the mausoleum of Gian Giacomo Medici.
- And, of course, one should not forget about the statue of the martyr St. Bartholomew, who underwent terrible trials - he was flayed alive.
Following the traditions of the Gothic style, the Milan Cathedral is decorated with an endless number of different sculptures. Basically, these are extremely remarkable specimens. For example, female figures located in the center of the facade are considered to be the prototype of the Statue of Liberty in New York.
