Here is Milan's Cathedral (Duomo) which I was astonished to learn took almost SIX centuries to build!
I am in awe of the talented craftsmen who created these beautiful statues (forgive me if I have not used the correct term) which adorn the outside.
The intricate details on facial expressions, bulging veins, and obvious ability to depict human anatomy so accurately, takes my breath away!
Although our visit to Milan was brief - an evening and a day - these magnificent pieces of art will remain etched in my memory for many years to come.
Wherever you may live in this extraordinary world, I encourage you to visit
to view more scenes from far and wide.
(with grateful thanks to our hosts)

Wow - totally amazing! I'd love to see this cathedral.
Wow - it took six hundred years to build?
Beautiful photos.
Amazing structure! Great photos from you here!
We hear so much of other cathedrals in Europe, but this one is the most beautiful among all of them, and yet it is rather unknown to me. I agree with you it is breathtaking.!
I wish you a great week.

Dear all - many thanks for your comments on Duomo. Yes, it is almost unbelievable that construction of this cathedral could take so long. For those of you who may wish to pursue that further, perhaps the following site might be of help - http://www.sacred-destinations.com/italy/milan-cathedral
