This Gothic marvel of white marble, both colossal and ethereal, bristling with belfries, pinnacles and statues, stands at one end of a great paved esplanade teeming with people and pigeons – the central square of Milan (Piazza Duomo). Building began with the chevet in 1386 on the orders of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, and continued in the 15C and 16C under the direction of Italian, French and German master masons. The façade was finished only between 1805 and 1809, on the orders of Napoleon.
