Indeed the fashion capital of the world, Milan has great shopping and lots of history. The Opera House is not much to look at on the outside, but the inside (according to Sandra who decided to venture in) is stunning. It is a working theater and a museum as well. Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" (1495-97) is here; unfortunately we didn’t know you needed reservations. We’ll be back. (By the way, we understand that there is a lot of controversy around “The DaVinci Code” in the US – there are no such issues, problems or protests that we know of anywhere in Europe). Sforzesco Castle is a well preserved relic of the past that has been incorporated into a fantastic use of public space for residents and visitors alike. Last but not least the duomo at the heart of the city is the largest gothic cathedral in the world. Built in 1387 and it is still covered in scaffolding! Here are the pictures.
