Mailand entdecken

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a covered shopping arcade linking Piazza del Duomo with Piazza della Scala in Milan. Designed by Giuseppe Mengoni and built between 1865 and 1877, it has four-storey arms roofed in iron and glass that meet beneath a central glass dome above an octagon with floor mosaics.

San Bernardino alle Ossa is a church beside Santo Stefano Maggiore in Milan, with an ossuary chapel. A room for bones from a neighbouring cemetery was built in 1210; the church was rebuilt with an octagonal dome after a fire in 1712, and the ossuary's walls are covered in skulls and bones beneath a vault painted by Sebastiano Ricci.

The Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio is one of the oldest churches in Milan, founded by Bishop Ambrose in 379–386 and rebuilt in Romanesque style in the 11th and 12th centuries. An arcaded atrium leads to the brick facade between two bell towers, and the saint's remains lie in the crypt beneath the high altar.

Santa Maria delle Grazie is a Dominican church and convent in Milan whose brick Gothic nave by Guiniforte Solari was completed by 1469. From 1492 the east end was rebuilt with a domed tribune attributed to Donato Bramante. Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper is in the refectory next door, which has its own ticketed entry; the complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
