Sopra Milano: The View from the Cathedral Top


 Most of us have seen pictures of the beautiful Gothic-themed duomo in Milan, but one of its real treasures lies above on its rooftop. Go around the right side of the cathedral and climb the stairs to the top of the duomo for breathtaking views and incredibly intricate sculptured features. Ponder why someone would need a duck-faced gargoyle or the guard-dog pictured to the left of this text. Once you've arrived on the top of the duomo, consider the amount of labor, materials, and design inputs that went into the creation of this beautiful structure.
