Route Overview
Begin at the Gothic cathedral that has defined Milan's skyline for centuries. The rooftop statues and the remnants of the nearby Basilica di Santa Tecla add layers of history to this central square, which also borders the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
Italy's oldest active shopping gallery sits just steps from the cathedral and rewards close observation with its ornate ironwork and mosaic floors. Nearby Piazza Mercanti, the medieval commercial heart of Milan, contains the historic Casa Panigarola.
The Brera neighborhood offers a refined contrast to the busy Duomo area, with cobblestone streets lined by art galleries and the Pinacoteca di Brera, home to one of Italy's foremost collections of paintings. The district's fresco-filled interiors make it a highlight of any Milan visit.
The 15th-century Sforza Castle anchors the northwestern section of the route, its towers visible from a considerable distance. Porta Sempione, the nearby city gate, marks the boundary between the historic center and the broader urban fabric.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site houses Leonardo da Vinci's late 15th-century mural within its refectory, drawing visitors from across the world. The adjacent church and Dominican convent represent some of the finest Renaissance architecture in northern Italy.
One of Milan's oldest churches, originally built in Roman times, stands within the city's historic ring of canals alongside the Fontana delle Tre Cannelle. The nearby churches of San Fedele and the trompe-l'oeil church attributed to Donato Bramante complete this final stretch of the route.
