The Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo offers many initiatives for the months of June and July: starting June 20, guided tours will be organized to discover the Duomo of Milan, walk among the spires of the cathedral, and reach the Terraces, with a 20% discount on all individual tours conducted by official guides.
The elevator ride to the Terraces resumes every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (every day from July). From Friday to Sunday, visitors to the Duomo have the opportunity to go up to the Terraces by elevator or stairs with extended hours until 8 p.m.: from here, visitors can enjoy evocative views and perspectives towards the city and admire the 135 spires, ornaments, statuary, Madonnina and architectural treasures of the Duomo.
It will be possible to explore thearchaeological area, where there are the remains of the Baptistery of San Giovanni alle Fonti, the first octagonal baptistery, and the Cathedral, the most important example of the Gothic style in northern Italy, which preserves 3400 statues and 55 stained glass windows.
And go up to the Terraces of Milan Cathedral to walk among the spires, where every architectural and decorative detail reveals a legacy dictated by the sculptural tradition handed down by the mastery of the stonemasons who devote wisdom and care to each artifact in the marble workshop.
