Some pictures from a short trip to Milan.

The Milan cathedral is an absolute highlight. A MUST SEE, because this building is really amazing and beautiful.

Nice shots! Il Duomo is an amazing building. The buildings surrounding it are quite nice too. I enjoyed roaming around the castle as well. And there is a beautiful sprawling park on the far side of it too. That whole area was very interesting to walk around.

Although Milan claims "second" place to being the largest city in Italy, it's not second class. Milan has much to offer to the traveler who's visiting Italy, and is well worth a visit. Being the country's capital in business, fashion, music and design, Milan offers amazing attractions which combine both the past and present.

One and a half million people populate the Northern city. Located south of the Italian Alps, Milan is very close to several other cities and attractions such as Venice and Florence, great skiing and the seashore villages of Liguria and Cinque Terre. Each are just a few short hours (or less) away, which makes Milan a great place to live or tour. History of Milan

In terms of metro population Milan(o) is ,in fact, the first city in Italy although the proper city has about one million and half, with the surroundings cities it has over four million inhabitants!
