Milan Cathedral

If the number of artistic opinions ranged against it were a measure of its architectural merit, then the Duomo di Milano would be an abject failure of style. However, any who fail to be impressed with its amazingly light interior or flamboyant Gothic exterior would be heartless.

Any building taking six hundred years to complete is bound to incorporate a number of sometimes conflicting styles, but it is a fascinating expression of the fashions of each age, ranging from early Gothic to Gothic revival with the odd bit of classical stuff thrown in between.

The view from the roof is amazing, even if you suffer from vertigo!
