Une journée complète à Milan
Milan ne doit pas être un séjour coûteux et tout compris. Vous pouvez facilement découvrir toute la ville à pied. Nous avons mis en avant certains des lieux historiques ici.
Cimitero Monumentale
While sometimes I find it a little weird to go visit unknown people's grave, this beautiful cemetery is known for the exceptionally beautiful graves. Many of Italy's notable artists, writers, politicians, and intellectuals are buried here, making it not just a burial ground but also a cultural landmark. You can find the graves of Alessandro Manzoni, Giuseppe Verdi, Carlo Cattaneo, and many others. This stunning cemetery was created in 1866, after the Napoleonic Edict of Saint-Cloud, meaning it was prohibited to do burials within city limits due to health concerns. It was designed as a grandiose cemetery complex to accommodate Milan's growing population and to serve as a final resting place for its citizens.
Duomo di Milano
First things first, you can't go to Milan without seeing the famous Cathedral. While the duomo is perfectly good looking from the outside, nothing beats the views from the top of this masterpiece. It is totally worth splurging a little on this experience. If you can, go around sunrise or sunset, the sky can't be beat. I think some of these photos speak for itself... no more words added from me.
Santa Maria delle Grazie
This beautiful church was built between 1463 en 1497, asked for by Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. It was designed by Guiniforte Solari in Lombard Gothic Style. You can find the famous painting of Leonardo Da Vinci here: The Last Supper. Both are now part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Fontana del Piermarini
Not far from the last stop you can find this beautiful little fountain. It's also very close to the Duomo. This one was created by Giuseppe Piermarini.
Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio
This place is a peaceful area in an otherwise busy city. While there are other tourists here, it's relatively quiet. This beautiful church has it's own little garden that still gets taken care of. This church was built in the 4th century but has since had many reconstructions and renovations. This is probably why it still looks almost brand new.
