Milan, Day 4 - Duomo Rooftop

One of the highlights of visiting the Duomo is touring the rooftop. The entire surface of the Duomo both inside and out is covered with marble. The quarry was willed to the Duomo to ensure future marble needs could be met. The rooftop is also marble and true to Gothic style reaches for heaven. It is amazing to walk amongst the spirals and statutes that adorn the rooftop.
