Piazza del Duomo - Rooftop (Part 3) Milano, Italy 2007

Conclusion. From the rooftop of the Piazza del Duomo, you are rewarded with spectacular views of the whole city - Milano, Italy. The snowy mountain tops of the Swiss Alps (which border northern Italy) can be seen peeking through the background in some of my images. Atop this gothic cathedral you will also discover the many gargoyles, flying buttresses and statues that make this majestic monument come to life. If ever you plan on visiting Italy - the Piazza del Duomo is, unquestionably, worth adding to your itinerary!

I took the elevator only because I had a prior engagement elsewhere. But doing what you did only makes one appreciate the Duomo that much more. You are lucky to be there that long.

If it were a clear day you would be able to see the snow capped Alps. But alas, Milano is almost always so smoggy, it takes high winds and some luck to see the real view.
