The Duomo is the symbol of Milan known all over the world, built in pinkish white marble with characteristic Gothic spiers and numerous statues, among which the most important is that of the Madonnina who looks down on the city from above.

The Duomo is the cathedral and heart of the city, a meeting place for groups, families and friends, but above all for tourists who cannot return to their homes without first having visited the symbol of Milan.

The Church of St. Maria della Passione, the second largest church in Milan after the Duomo, takes its name from the ancient fresco preserved inside, recalling numerous pilgrims from all over the world who recognize the Marian miracle of 1590.

In the church there are numerous paintings by artists such as Bramantino and Procaccini which represent different images of Maria Addolorata during the Passion of Christ and Holy Week.

Inside there are many works of art, including the decoration of the chapels in the right nave that tell in succession the passion of Jesus during the Via Crucis.

The Church of St. Maria delle Grazie was founded in 1463 and its name derives from the chapel of Madonna delle Grazie located inside, an image considered miraculous.

The painting "L’ultima Cena" (the Last Supper) by Leonardo Da Vinci, a UNESCO heritage site, is kept in the refectory attached to the Dominican Convent.

The Basilica of St. Eustorgio is one of the oldest churches in Milan dating back to the 4th century AD, built on a suburban necropolis, whose apse is the only paleo-Christian testimony that has come down to us.

Originally it kept the relics of the Three Wise Men inside, but in the days of Federico Barbarossa they were transferred to Cologne.

From 1227 the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio became the headquarters of the Dominican Order in Milan.

The Church of St. Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore is known as "the Sistine Chapel of Milan" as its inside walls are all frescoed with images from the sixteenth century, representing Saints and martyrs.

Overlooking Corso Magenta, a short distance from the Duomo and the Sforzesco Castle, in its cloister it houses the Archaeological Museum.

The Church of St. Marco was built close to a previous building dedicated to St. Marco, in honor of the Venetians who had fought alongside Milan against Federico Barbarossa.

It was founded by Friar Lanfranco Settala of the order of Saint Augustine, which is why it represented the cradle of the Augustinians in Milan since the late Middle Ages and until the modern age.

Located in the Brera district, one of the most beautiful in the city, it still preserves the bell tower and the stone portal on which the statues of St. Marco, St. Ambrogio and St. Augustine stand.
