The Duomo's 3,400 statues and stained glass windows reflect six centuries of construction, making it Italy's largest church and a key cultural landmark.
- On Feb 5, 2026, Milan's Duomo drew renewed attention as it attracts more than 5 million visitors annually and is described as a must-visit Gothic cathedral.
- Architectural historians point to the Duomo's Gothic design and its 6-century construction, containing about 3,400 statues and stained glass, as Milan's iconic emblem, Fitzpatrick said.
- The gilded Madonnina towers 365 ft above the Duomo, and traditionally no building was to surpass that height, but some skyscrapers now add small replicas at the top.
- Broadcast crews conducted live shots from rooftops across from the Duomo during the Milan Cortina Olympics, with visitors waving and taking pictures in lively interaction.
