So Milan was a great shopping experience...but right there in the middle of it all stood this gigantic structure...The Duomo...here is some stuff on it...from Wikipedia...
"Milan Cathedral or Il Duomo di Milano is the cathedral of Milan in Lombardy, Italy. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Milan, currently His Eminence Dionigi Cardinal Tettamanzi. The cathedral is famous throughout the world for its significance in the promulgation of the Christian faith, for its role in the establishment of Catholic traditions of worship, its outstanding musical heritage and the splendour of its Gothic architecture.
Built from the late 14th well into the 19th century (and in a sense, never completed as work continues), the Duomo di Milano is one of the world's largest churches, being second in size within Italy only to Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome, and being the second largest Gothic cathedral in the world, after the Cathedral of Seville in Spain."

So as you can see it was not only worth the shopping experience...it was also a great cultural experience...lovely city, amazing architecture and great shoes... :)
