�ABOUT MILAN<br />
Milan is the engine room of Italy’s economy and home of the stock exchange.<br />
Tourist places of interest include the elaborate cathedral Duomo di Milano,<br />
Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper’, La Scala Opera House and Castello<br />
Sforzesco (Sforza Castle).<br />
What really sets Milan apart, though, is its creative streak. Armani, Versace,<br />
Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Pucci, Gucci and many more took off on Milan’s runways.<br />
Fashionistas make a pilgrimage here to shop at the designers’ flagship stores in the<br />
Quadrilatero d’Oro (Golden Quad).<br />
The city also harbours some lesser-known attractions such as the Navigli’s canal-side cafés<br />
and old-fashioned gelaterie (ice-cream shops) and the design district of Isola.<br />
By far the foremost tourist attraction of the city is the main piazza (city square) called<br />
Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) named after, and dominated by, the Milan<br />
Cathedral (the Duomo). The piazza marks the centre of the city, both in a geographic<br />
sense and because of its importance from an artistic, cultural, and social point of<br />
view. Rectangular in shape, with an overall area of 17.000 m2 (about 183.000 Sq Ft),<br />
the piazza includes some of the most important buildings in Milan. The statue in the<br />
centre is of Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of unified Italy, sitting astride his horse.<br />
Other sites on the square are the Palazzo dell’Arengario, Palazzo Carminati, Palazzo<br />
dei Portici Settentrionali, Palazzo dei Portici Meridonali, and the Palazzo Reale.<br />
A must-see in Milan is the Duomo di Milano. (The structure took almost 500 years to<br />
build and is the fourth largest in Europe and the second largest Catholic cathedral in<br />
the world. At the time it was built it could hold the entire population of Milan, 40,000<br />
people. The exterior is striking with it’s many spires and the interior is just huge. You<br />
can climb the stairs to the roof for 5€ or take the elevator for 8€. Well worth the price if<br />
you want the see the gargoyles and statues up close or you want a great view of the city.<br />
Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper’ at the Santa Maria delle Grazie is Italy’s most<br />
famous painting. It’s also one of the most visited. Be sure you order your tickets far<br />
ahead to see the masterpiece.<br />
