Milan

We popped into Milan for a few hours before going home.

As you can see from this gorgeous number seen in the underground, Milan is the big fashion capital!

Milan Duomo is quite spectacular, one of the finest I have seen!

The main shopping strip

One of the doors of the duomo is quite incredible, made up of many of these biblical scenes, small carvings with amazing detail! As you can see, people like to kiss and rub Jesus's knee, although I am not sure why the calf of the guy whipping Jesus gets more kissing, well formed as it may be!




The whole door
