Spires of the Duomo di Milano

713
The spires of the Duomo di Milano (1386–20th c.) rise like a stone forest, each crowned with a statue of a saint. Their soaring verticality evokes the soul’s ascent to the divine. Across the street, the Rinascente rooftop terrace offers a famed view. In the background, Milan’s modern skyline—Porta Nuova’s towers—adds a striking contrast between Gothic grandeur and contemporary ambition.
