Il Duomo di Milano



Il Duomo di Milano is a cathedral in Milan. It's also one of the largest churches, second in size within Italy to Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome (yet to visit) and the second largest Gothic cathedral in the world after the Cathedral of Seville (in Spain). I only took photos of the outside. It looked as if it was under reno works so I didn't bother to go in. *duh* Maybe next year if I'm goin to Milan again, I'll make a point to go in...

Aside from that, it's also one of the most busiest areas in Milan. With shopping places like Rinascente (where you find LV, the real deal the second u reach the 1st floor via escalator).






See... it's under reno... it looks like it's under reno. (quit looking at my nose hair)


Yes, I positioned myself to strategically block the view of the shopping mall behind me. Behind me is Galeria Vittorio Emanuelle II.


If you turn to my left (that'll be your right) and walk, you'll find an almost endless chain of boutiques and shops selling clothes (both branded and not-so branded) that goes on and on and on for miles (I gave up halfway) after passing by 4 D&G boutiques, 1 large Armani boutique, and many more.




Gino de Dominics (dun ask, I can't read Italian) but I think it's an art piece of some Italian dude (prolly dead dude?)


Be warned if you're ever here in Duomo... dun bother with those kids trying to put seeds into your hands so pigeons come to you. It'll cost you at least 5 Euros. (I didn't kena, my colleague did)
