Well, after being here a month we finally got in to the center of Milan to see the sights!
Our friend Samuel from church came with us and played tour guide.
The main thing to see in Milan is the Duomo.
It is the third largest cathedral in the world and is pretty amazing.
The whole thing is made out of granite and every nook and cranny is carved into something.
We got to go out on the roof and see things up close; that was really cool.
We also went underneath, where they have discovered the baptistery where Saint Ambrose baptized Saint Augustine.
A neat little piece of history to see.
Right by the Duomo is the Galleria, a huge shopping center with a really cool glass ceiling.
It is one of Corey’s favorite things we’ve seen.
We also went to the Castello. You know you’re in Europe when there is an ancient castle downtown… Now there are various museums housed in it. We went to one about Ancient Egypt and visited some mummies, and also got to see a ceiling painted by DaVinci and an unfinished sculpture by Michelangelo.
