Project 365:Day 15

This is one of the stained glass windows inside the Duomo in Milan's Centro. The Duomo is gothic in style and GIGANTIC. What makes it impressive is that it was built over FIVE centuries. The ground was broke to build it in 1386, and the finishing touches weren't put on it until 1965. It is the largest Gothic cathedral and the second largest Catholic cathedral in the world.

It houses the remains of Saint Carlos Borromeo(you might remember seeing pictures that I posted of his home on Lake Maggiore) Saint Carlos is the patron saint for the prevention/cure of ulcers/colic/stomach disorders and also the patron saint of bishops and apple orchards. RANDOM I know!!!! But there were a LOT of candles lit to him!!!

It is also the seat to the Archbishop of Milan 

There ya go, there's your Italian History lesson for the day!!
