Milan is the world capital of fashion and design, the center of the modern Italian economy. This is the most serious and business city of all Italian cities, which is in a hurry all day. But there are also masterpieces of world culture in it, next to which it is worthwhile to linger in order to better examine and understand them.
The symbol of Milan is the Duomo Cathedral. It serves as a model for long-term construction. The cathedral was laid back in the fourteenth century, and the construction was completed only in the nineteenth. Medieval architects built for centuries and were in no hurry. The most famous part of the cathedral is the walking gallery on its roof. It is not only a magnificent medieval Gothic monument, but also the best observation deck in the city. Here you can wander up and down the stairs and observe the life of the Milanese from above.
Milan's museums are impressive not in quantity but in quality. The works of ancient masters can be found in the Pinacoteca of Brera on Via Brera, 28 and in the small museum of Poldi Pezzolini on Via Manzoni, 12. In the Pinacoteca of Ambrosiana on Piazza Pio 11, you can admire drawings by Leonardo da Vinci.
The most inaccessible attraction in Milan is the Last Supper fresco by Leonardo da Vinci. You can see her in the refectory of the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The recording is made several months before viewing by phone or on the official website. Many tourists rely on luck and arrive by 8 o'clock at the box office, where they sell tickets that their owners have refused.
You can combine a cultural walk in Sempione Park with a visit to the medieval Sforza castle. It contains the famous work of Michelangelo - "Pieta Rondanini". The entrance to the castle is free, but you have to stand in a long queue to get there.
Another unusual attraction in Milan is its central cemetery. It is not for nothing that it bears the name Cimeterio Monumentale. There are a huge number of Gothic architectural monuments and statues. And the ancient monuments on the crypts make an impression on the experienced lovers of Gothic art.
