Milan Duomo (Cathedral)
This is the fourth largest church in Europe, it is built out of pink
marble from Candoglia, 60 miles away.

St. Bartolomeo statue
He was a martyr who was skinned alive

There are lots of beautiful stained glass windows, these were bought by rich families to earn the Church's favor and were designed to teach the illiterate masses the way to salvation.
La Scala Opera House
This is the world's most prestigious opera house built in 1778. It is very beautiful,
the museum is somewhat interesting for a non opera person.

Sforza Castle
It was built in 1300's as a military fortress, later served as a palace for the Sforza family and guest Leonardo Da Vinci. It has been a barracks for the Spanish, French and Austrians.
Today it houses several museums, but on our tour we only saw the courtyard.

Leonardo's Da Vinci Last Supper
I like the way it is organized with small groups at a time with 15 minutes for each group to look at the Last Supper and one other picture. This is a lot better than the Sistine Chapel which was so packed you could hardly concentrate or move to enjoy the paintings on the ceiling. You can not take pictures (this one is off the internet) and the picture is not as bright as this. It was interesting but not as exciting as I thought it would be.
