Gallimaufry#69

 Day 7Milan

Castello Sforzesco

Despite the rain, the castle was chock-a-bloc with tourists.

Statue of San Giovanni Nepomuceno


Piazza Castello



Piazza Cordusio

Piazza del Duomo

Duomo Milanthe pièce de résistance of the piazza

This gothic-style cathedral has more statues than any other building in the world. There are 3,400 statues, 135 gargoyles, and 700 marble figures.
Statua di Vittorio Emanuele II

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
Swarovski Tree of Dreams 
At every turn and corner, we encountered a Christmas tree more beautiful than the last! 🎄
The evening ended with a Korean dinner in Chinatown Milan.
After an entire week of pizza and pasta, our Malaysian tummies were craving a hot and spicy meal and yes, rice!

  2. Great photos from your trip to Italy.
    I have also been to Milan over 40 years ago.
    I also saw the cathedral there was also a square in front with all pigeons just like in Amsterdam.
    Also been to the mall then, everything was splendor there.
    Greetings Irma

  4. I've never been to Milan, Veronica! I visited all the main Italy's town, such as Florence, Venice, Genoa, etc. but not Milan. It's easy to see you enjoyed Milan's landmarks and their architecture.
    Sorry to see it was raining when you visited the Castello Sforzesco! I think the food you had in Milan isn't as good as the food you had in Florence and Central Italy.

    Thank you for sharing such nice photo-report about the main Northern Italy town.

    Have a nice weekend!

  7. Dearest Veronica,
    WISH I'd ever been able to visit Milan and its DUOMO... A dream and so glad that you made it—rain or shine!

  8. Dear Veronica,
    today I belatedly enjoyed your photos of Venice, which also brought back good memories.
    Now I see your Milano photos - I have never been here, but it looks like an interesting city, too, with a very impressive cathedral! Too bad it rained so much...
    The Swarovski Tree of Dreams looks impressive, Dior's too! I can understand that after some time with pizza and pasta you felt like "homesick specialties" :-) They look very yummie!
    ALL THE BEST from Austria!
    Traude
