Duomo!

On Miranda's last day in Milan, we did what one must do... go to the Duomo. The insides were lovely as usual. The crowds are up since tourist season is starting, so there were lots of people lighting offerings.

The stained glass was Miranda's favorite thing, and rightly so. The grand windows in the back are just awesome.

The stained glass comes from a variety of periods, some are even modern! I wish we were able to puzzle out the ages for the big ones in the back, which were clearly older, but... didn't look like they were original to the earliest period of the church. This pic below has a great detail, of Moses and a tiger.

By the stained glass in the back is a good spot to get a picture of the marble floor patterns unencumbered, too!

And we did head up to the roof. The oncoming clouds were actually a benefit for picture taking!

As always, seeing the roof is inspiring, and you notice random details you've never seen before. And you get to take sweet pictures!
