Milan's historic church is immense with a gothic-style interior of 52 massive pillars to support a pointed arch ceiling.

Archeological ruins show that this site has been used for sacred purposes for 2000 years. Below the church (open to the public) are foundations of previous churches, including mosaics, and artifacts from AD 313.

Milan itself is a big, bustling, crowded city. The metro is a highly efficient people mover, even if really crowded. Just as on our arrival, the train/metro station was like an ant mound that someone kicked - packed with busy swarms of people. On to Verona and Venice tommorrow.もっと詳しく
