Spring Walk in Milan’s Old Town
Milan (Milano) is a city in northern Italy, regional capital of Lombardy, and the second-most-populous city proper in Italy after Rome.
So, picture this: you’re in Milan, a really cool city in Italy, and you’re wandering around the old town. It’s like stepping into a storybook! The buildings are all old and beautiful, with colorful shutters on the windows and flowers spilling out of flowerpots.
As you walk, you might hear the sound of your feet on the cobblestone streets – clack, clack, clack. It’s kinda like a special soundtrack just for you. And oh boy, the smells! There’s the sweet scent of fresh bread from the bakeries, the savory aroma of pizza wafting out of tiny restaurants, and the delicious smell of coffee brewing in little cafes.
Don’t forget to look up! The buildings in Milan’s old town are tall and majestic, with intricate designs carved into the stone. Some of them have these fancy balconies where people might be sipping espresso and chatting away.
And guess what? There are hidden treasures around every corner! You might stumble upon a quaint little gelato shop serving up the creamiest, tastiest gelato you’ve ever had. Or maybe you will find a cute little square with a fountain where you can sit and rest your feet for a bit.
Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), or Metropolitan Cathedral-Basilica of the Nativity of Saint Mary (Basilica cattedrale metropolitana di Santa Maria Nascente), is the cathedral church of Milan.
Dedicated to the Nativity of St. Mary (Santa Maria Nascente), it is the seat of the Archbishop of Milan, currently Archbishop Mario Delpini.
The cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete: construction began in 1386, and the final details were completed in 1965.
It is the largest church in the Italian Republic—the larger St. Peter’s Basilica is in the State of Vatican City, a sovereign state—and the third largest in the world.
