Inside Milan Duomo

The most important thing we noted here is that despite dome being part of the name this cathedral has no dome.

It has impressive arches.

Oh and here’s another piece of the cross. I think we may have seen enough to make a full cross by now. The tricky part is that so many seem to be different types of wood.

image

It is a very tall building.

This is a very elaborate carving of a guy with no skin. Because, art?

image

There are so many panels of stained glass, well technically painted glass.

image

I think this is Mary floating off to heaven.

image

This is closer to traditional stained glass and only has a bit of highlights on it.

image

This is not a statue or art pieces, but rather equipment used for restorations. Like many buildings in Italy they are working on them.

image

That dot is a hole in the building. You may wonder why they would put a hole in the roof.

It is for the monthly calendar of course. At noon the spot will be somewhere on the floor or wall and that corresponds to the zodiac. I didn’t realize they used the zodiac but I suppose it is pretty close to our months anyways. We couldn’t find the line until it was too late so the dot was nowhere near where it was supposed to be.
