The Duomo
Milan's pearly-white Duomo ( Click here ), covered in a pantheon of marble saints,
is the third-largest in the world. A gift from Gian Galeazzo Visconti, who started
works in 1386, its centuries-long creation maps much of the history of Milan.
Biblioteca Ambrosiana

founded one of Italy's greatest libraries, the Biblioteca Ambrosiana ( Click here ) ,
in 1609. Among its collection are pages from da Vinci's compendium of drawings,
the Codex Atlanticus .
