About Duomo di Milano
Milan's grandiose Gothic cathedral, 600 years in the making, is a vision in Candoglia marble that fittingly symbolizes the city's uniqueness and aspiration.

Its pearly white exterior, with 135 towers and 3400 statues, rises like the embroidery of a fairy-tale crown, mesmerizing audiences with its lavish detail. If you’re planning to visit, here’s everything you need to know about Duomo Milan tickets, timings, getting there, and more.

Why visit Duomo di Milano?
Did you know?
- The Protective Madonnina: Perched atop the Duomo since 1774, the Madonnina guards Milan with a hidden weapon—she conceals a lightning rod within her Halberd, protecting herself from the elements.
- Centuries in the Making: Construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1386 and concluded in the 19th century. Adorned with 34,000 statues, 135 spires, and 55 stained glass windows, the Duomo showcases centuries of craftsmanship and artistry.
- Archaeological Treasures: Beneath the Duomo lie ancient ruins dating back to Roman times. The archaeological section reveals remnants of two churches and a baptistery, providing glimpses into Milan's rich history.
- St. Bartholomew's Secret: The statue of St. Bartholomew appears draped in a plain cloth, but a closer look unveils a natural cloak. The statue commemorates the martyrdom of St. Bartholomew in a unique and symbolic manner.
- Musical Marvel: The Duomo houses Italy's largest organ, located in the main altar. Boasting 15,800 pipes and exquisite organ cases, it stands as a musical masterpiece with intricately designed doors depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament.

The Duomo is an awsome building inside and out. Good to have 2 queues, one for on foot and one for using the lift. The lift queue was significantly shorter at 09h00 in the morning so got in quickly.
There are stil quite a few stairs to negotiate even if you do use the lift to go up.
Otherwise no issues with the visit, it was certainly worthwhile
Donna
The view was phenomenal! We never founds a pkace for the audio guide. It seemed incomplete without the cathedral tour.
Anna
"We went into the cathedral first which was free and had amazing art in it . The queue looked long but it only took about 10 minutes. After the cathedral we decided to go up the dome. The queue was about 30 minutes and it was about €6 each (apart from children who were free). There are 463 spiral steps to the top, it is very tight and to top it off there is only one way up and one way down. By the time you reach the top you are almost on your knees getting onto the roof. I would definitely not advise anyone afraid of tight spaces or height to go up this dome, although the views from the top were magnificent!"
Fiza
My wife and I made the climb to the top of the Duomo(which is even more work than we expected) but as others have said, it was really worth it. The views were so wonderful that we stayed up there far longer then I ever expected. I took picture after picture and now that I have all of them on my computer at home I wonder why I didn't take even more. I don't know when that has happened before. The day was bright and sunny but the sky was also full of puffy, litttle, white clouds being blown about. A sea of red, tile roof tops went out in all directions below us and it looked like we could see for many miles.

The guide; they are friendly, they have patience with all the customers and their interest in teaching in few minutes all the important facts/interesting facts.
Lucas
I was particularly enticed by the Cathedral and museum, but that's not the only thing Duomo has to offer. It was the perfect place to start sightseeing in Milan, would especially recommend for foreigners

What to See at Duomo Milan?
What to See at Duomo Milan?
The Duomo Milan is known for its grand structure and wealth of history and culture. Many of the artifacts present within the Duomo represent this rich history. Here are the main parts of the landmark that you should visit.
The Cathedral
The Cathedral of Milan is a large church with large dark marble blocks in its interior. You will be able to see the structure’s stylish and expansive architecture with tall marble columns and carved statues that reach the roof in its interior. The large paintings depicting various religious scenes hung among the columns are an awe-inspiring sight.
The Rooftop Terraces
Climb the designated stairwell or take the lift to the terraces of Duomo Milan and take in the finest vistas of Milan from this distinctive viewpoint. You can observe the beautiful cityscape of Milan between you and the horizon from here. The Madonnina, a 14-foot-high golden figure of Mary that also happens to be the building's tallest point, is the terrace's crowning gem.
The Museum
A visit to the Museo del Duomo is a very different experience compared to that of the cathedral. The museum is a calm, quiet space where sculptures can be studied up close, taking in the colors of the marble and the details of one-of-a-kind works of art that have been installed on the monument, often at dizzying heights. The museum has meticulously expanded and enriched its halls and exhibits over time.
