The Duomo, Milan


In the history of tourism, I doubt anybody has visited Milan and not seen the Duomo, the big cathedral slap bang in the centre of the city. An architectural masterpiece with over 3,000 statues, God knows how many spires (each with a statue on top) and a million tourists. It was actually started in around 350 AD and they are still adding to it today. It originally started out as two churches but one got abandoned and was only discovered in the 1960s when they were digging the Metro.
