Duomo di Milano
Milan's iconic landmark, the Duomo Cathedral, is the largest catholic church in Italy and one of the largest in the world. A huge building made of pink and white marble rises above the city like a filigree fairy tiara, striking tourists rushing to it with its refined spires of towers, extravagant gargoyles, many sculptures of saints and bizarre chimeras. Another highlight of the Duomo is the appearance of white and pink marble in different lighting conditions. Some people like the Cathedral in the rays of the dawn sun, others prefer the soft glow of sunset. The famous German poet Heine claimed that there is nothing more mystical and beautiful than the Duomo of Milan, illuminated by silver moonlight.
Santa Maria delle Grazie
The history of the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in the late Gothic style begins in 1463, when count Vimercati presented a piece of land to the Dominican order, who decided to build their own Church on this site. The architect of the monastery was Guiniforte Solari, and the construction of the Church began in 1469. In 1490, Duke Lodovico Sforza decided to make a tomb of the Church, the architect of which he hired Donato Bramante. Inside the temple, you can see various frescoes that were created by many famous masters, such as Donato Montorfano, who created the fresco "Crucifixion". In the chapel of St. Catherine there are still sculptures by Antonello da Messina, in others the frescoes of Gaudenzio Ferrari and Bramantino. The arcade of the Church leads to the ancient chapel delle Grazie.
