Join our guide to climb up to the rooftops of the Duomo. It is the perfect opportunity to discover Milan’s most significant monument and to admire the whole city from above! 

Have you ever wondered how many statues has the Duomo? Sure, many. But how many? And who do they depict? Get ready for a tour that will make your head feel in the clouds!

Our guided tour to the roof terraces of the Duomo is indeed the perfect opportunity not only to discover Milan’s most significant monument but also to admire the whole city from up above! 

The Duomo boasts over seven centuries of history. Commenced in 1386 and completed only in the 20th century, the Duomo is an unmissable stop in your Milanese staying: its imposing presence and sheer beauty are impossible to ignore.

We will meet in front of the Cathedral and take the lift to reach a breath-taking roof terrace of about 8,000 square meters. There, you’ll be able to admire 135 spires, pinnacles, flying buttresses and many statues. 

It is almost impossible to believe it, but the Duomo features about 3,400 statues! Designed and carved throughout the centuries, they portray a vast range of biblical and historical figures, gargoyles, animals, little monsters, dragons, faces, and puzzling silhouettes. 

And if you think that the Duomo is now complete, you’re wrong! New statues have been carved and installed in recent times to represent the city’s contemporary history.

Lastly, our guided tour will make us pause to pay homage to Milan’s most venerated statue: La Madonnina. Completed in 1774 and installed on the cathedral's highest spire, the gold plated statue of the Virgin has been protecting the city ever since. Even our Milanese unofficial anthem is dedicated to her!

This tour is like no other. It will make you experience the Duomo differently, taking you up to the very top. From there, you’ll have the whole city at your feet.
