duomo

Just got back from Milan.
One of the most beautiful buildings in the world is the Duomo in Milan, Italy.  
The term Duomo refers to the main church or cathedral in the town.  
The Milan Duomo is one of the largest churches in the world.  It has 135 spires and has 3400 statues in it.  It was built in 1386!  Can you imagine?!  Having the technology and skills to build a masterpiece like this that long ago!
You are allowed to walk on the roof of this spectacular church.  You can see the swiss alps from the rooftop!
Amazing!     Magnificent!    Beautiful!!
