Duomo Milan [View all]

A gray day dodging raindrops. Still too crowded to wait and get in on a queazy stomach. This is one huge building. It is the 5th largest Christian church in the world. Has a huge number, 3,400 statues, 135 gargoyls and 700 figures.
There is also a very accurate sundail inside along with, supposedly, one of the nails from Christs crucifixtion.

They are also doing lots of restoration outside so the place was covered in scafolding.

Heading towards it


At dusk with the lighting.


The main door.


From a 7th story bar across the street.


One of the windows behind the altar.


If you know your bible stories you might know what these reliefs represent.


The blood drops are a nice touch


St. John the Baptist???
