Duomo di Milano

It took 500 years to build the 4th largest gothic church in the world and the largest church in Italy. Commissioned in 1386, the Duomo was not finished until the early 1800. Regardless of your religious affiliation, it is amazing. I was quite surprised though by the experience inside. It was rather dull and not as magnificent as one would have expected.  Very limited light on the inside. Nonetheless, impressive.
