The Duomo

Teatro alla Scala
One of the world's most famous opera houses, it owes its name to the fact that it stands on the site of Santa Maria della Scala, a church built in 1381. The traditional gala opening night of the opera season always takes place on 7th December, the feast day of Sant'Ambrogio, the patron saint of Milan.

Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele
One of the most prestigious shopping arcades in Italy, and a wonderful structure with a glass roof, it offers visitors a unique opportunity to visit its traditional cafes, bars, bookshops and the legendary Prada boutique. It also connects the Duomo with the famous opera house, La Scala.

Museum Poldi-Pezzoli
Contains a precious private collection started by the nobleman Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli in 1881. The collection contains paintings, sculpture, armour, rugs, watches, glass and textiles with the ground floor housing arms and armour from ancient Roman times to the 18th century.

Brera
This is one of the most charming streets in the old part of Milan with its original shops, art galleries and interesting antique stores. During the 50s and 60s, the district became a favourite gathering place for artists of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. Today, this area is still renowned for its bars, clubs, restaurants and nightlife.

Pinacoteca of Brera
The Brera Art Gallery holds one of Italy's most important art collections, featuring masterpieces by leading Italian artists from the 13th to the 20th century including Raphael, Mantegna, Piero della Francesca and Caravaggio. The Pinacoteca is housed in a beautiful baroque palazzo dating back to the 17th century.

Castello Sforzesco
Built in 1368 as a fortress by Galeazzo II Visconti, the Sforza Castle was enlarged during the 14th century by Gian Galeazzo and later by Filippo Maria who transformed it into a splendid ducal palace. Francesco Sforza, who became Lord of Milan in 1450, together with his son Lodovico il Moro, turned it into one of the most magnificent courts in Renaissance Italy.
