[History]
The Duomo occupies what was the most central site in Roman Mediolanum. The first cathedral, the "new basilica dedicated to St Thecla, was completed by 355 and an adjoining basilica was erected in 836. A fire damaged the cathedral and basilica in 1075.On 20 May 1805, Napoleon Bonaparte, about to be crowned King of Italy, ordered the façade to be finished by Pellicani. He assured that all expenses would fall to the French treasurer and within only seven years, the Cathedral's façade was completed. As a form of thanksgiving, a statue of Napoleon was placed at the top of one of the spires.
There is one elevator outside, we can go up the top of the roof.
We could see the amazing view from there!
Also out of Duomo, one big museum there, we could see many interesting collections there.
Next to Duomo is Milan Galleria, it was built by between 1865 and 1877.
