The Milano Duomo Cathedral

It was at least a 45 min walk from the hotel to the Piazza Duomo. When I finally arrived at the piazza, I came around the corner & saw it standing there - the Duomo Cathedral. Magnificent! What an inspiring gothic cathedral it is, the largest one in the world, & the second largest Catholic cathedral in the world.
Building was started in 1386 & wasn't completed till 1762 - excellence does take time. The multitude of spires & detail in the architecture are remarkable, all built with marble facings. The stained windows behind the alter are reputed to be the largest in the world, made up of a number of smaller frames each with its own theme.
For architectural fans, this is definitely a must see!

Pantheon

Permanent home to Raphael & many Italian kings (all tombed that is), the Pantheon is an architectural wonder. And with free entry, you can join the hordes of tourists flocking to the domed structure to marvel at its greatness. But be careful of the pickpockets.

Wandering Around Roma

Strolling through Roma was lovely with all its architectural wonders dotted on neaarlt every corner. Its piazzas & cobblestoned alleyways welcomed you to its community. I did find it hard to get some good food here though as much of it was targeted at the "I'll pretty much accept anything you throw at me" tourist market. But even the local places couldn't enliven my taste buds.
