Milan isn’t a city that reveals itself all at once. Its beauty hides in courtyards, behind façades, and within stories tucked beneath marble surfaces. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll explore the heart of Milan as you wander through the Duomo Quarter, uncovering layers of history and architecture spanning a thousand years. The tour begins in Piazza del Duomo, where you’ll see the Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), its façade adorned with angels, prophets, and gargoyles. You’ll find out how Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti ordered its construction as an act of conscience, gifting Milan its silhouette and soul.
