Duomo - Milan's Cathedral

Back in 1300, the Dukes of Milan wanted to impress their neighbors, France and Germany.  So they built this.  It only took about 450 years, but I think they accomplished their goal. The Duomo is the 4th largest Cathedral in Europe.  Technically you aren't supposed to take pictures on the inside, but I totally caught some people doing it.  Maybe next time.  There are 52 pillars about the size of a sequoia tree on the inside. You could practically fit a football field on the inside.....standing up on end.  


Big Big Temple!


Tada!!  To the left is Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, basically a really cool covered outdoor mall built in 1870.  To be checked out at another time =)

Ahhhh, pigeons!

Pigeons Pigeons Everywhere!!  (and of course this was the girls favorite part)
