The
Centro Storico is the historic centre of the city of
Milan, contained within the area once delimited by the medieval city walls and today by the streets forming the Corso Navigli easily distinguishable on the map of the city. Centro Storico encompasses Milan's perhaps most famous landmarks and tourist attractions, including the
Duomo (cathedral),
Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle shopping arcade and the
Teatro alla Scala opera house.
Compact in size and easily walkable, the Centro Storico is just as full of historic monuments as it is of designer boutiques and showrooms, restaurants and cafes - you will find almost all one comes to find in Milan for within not more than a quarter's walk.
The defunct old Milan district of "Centro Storico" actually included a broader area - the area covered in this guide corresponds to the
Quartiere 101 - Duomo of the present-day Zona 1.
Churches
[add listing]
The Duomo, Duomo
Square (metro lines
MM1 or
MM3 Duomo
Station; or with many buses and trams). Roof open daily 9AM-5:30PM. Milan's main cathedral, a massive late
Gothic church (started in 1386) in white marble, with hundreds of spires and thousands of statues on its exterior and a famous façade.
Don't miss the chance to climb up onto the roof and enjoy the spectacular views of the city between the
Gothic spires.
Inside the cathedral pictures are supposedly prohibited; however, the attendants rarely stop anyone doing so

Does also include a museum displaying the 700 year old history of construction of the cathedral, with impressive walk-in wooden models, façade designs originating from several centuries, sculptures and more.
Entrance to the cathedral is free. For accessing the roof via stairs: €7 adults, €4
.50 students; with the lift: €12. edit
