Duomo di Milano (Milan Cathedral)
The Cathedral that symbolizes Milan around the world
The Milan Duomo Monumental Complex
The spiritual heart and enduring symbol of Milan, the Milan Duomo tells a story spanning more than six centuries of art, history, and architecture. Built starting from 1386 under the patronage of Gian Galeazzo Visconti with the Candoglia marble, the Duomo is one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in Europe and a unique masterpiece shaped by generations of artists, architects, engineers, and craftsmen from across the continent.
The Complex includes the Cathedral, the spectacular Terraces crowned by the iconic Madonnina, the Archaeological Area with the remains of the ancient early-Christian basilicas, the Duomo Museum, and the Church of San Gottardo in Corte. Together, they offer an extraordinary journey through Milan’s history, artistic heritage, and cultural identity, exploring some of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
In addition to preserving and promoting this exceptional heritage, the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano offers a rich programme of cultural activities, guided tours, and exclusive experiences for visitors, schools, groups, and companies. The Complex’s unique historic and artistic spaces are also available for meetings, team-building activities, conferences, conventions, private events, and receptions, providing an unparalleled setting in the heart of Milan.
