The Duomo is in the centre of Milan in Italy. The word Duomo is an Italian term meaning cathedral. It 515ft in length (so in other words big) and took a total of five centuries to complete, but I suppose it is the forth largest in the world so that makes up for it. It is a spectacular building and you can go on a tour which leads you onto the roof so that you are able to see the view across Milan. The Duomo is so detailed and there are so many complex spires that it's no wonder that it took so long to construct, but the process was slow and it was only in 1965 that the last gate was added and to this day there are still alterations and renovations going on. If you are going to Milan you have to visit this building because it is outstanding. The Duomo is right next to the Galleria where all of the major designer shops are based like Prada and Gucci. I thought that since I was there I had to go into these shops just to see how unbelievably priced the stock was. There was a bag in the window for around 10,000euros and when I went in, I think I managed to stay for about a minute before seeing a price tag, screaming and then running out.
