Located in the heart of Milan, Piazza del Duomo is the city's political, religious and cultural core and Italy's most iconic cathedral square. Dominating the piazza is the magnificent Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), a Gothic masterpiece built in 1386 and completed nearly five centuries later. Famous as one of the world's largest marble buildings, it is renowned for its intricate carvings, 135 sky-reaching spires, and the iconic "Smiling Angel" statue, each detail a testament to time and craftsmanship.
As the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games gather momentum, the square buzzes with the spirit of the games. The nearby countdown clock, designed as a giant snow globe with artificial snow and digital displays tracking the Games and Paralympics, has become a popular photo spot for visitors and locals alike.
