Duomo di Milano is a unique architectural work, which fuses the international Gothic style with the traditional Lombard architecture.
Contrary to what one might think, despite its large dimensions, the interior of the Milan Duomo is incredibly welcoming. The beautiful, colorful stained-glass windows depicting scenes from the Bible are visible, reflecting an ethereal light on the floor of the church. It is now possible to descend the marble staircase to the Cathedral Treasure to see and appreciate the paleo-Christian and Romanesque objects. It is also possible to climb the cathedral ceiling to admire a spectacular view of the city.
The Cathedral continues in operation, in addition is the seat of the archdiocese of Milan and inside religious services are carried out regularly.
