The historic and ancient city of Milan, undoubtedly, holds something for everybody. Nearly 3,000 years old, the history of Milan is intertwined with that of the Holy Roman Empire and the Catholic Church – indeed, many consider the city of Milan and its symbolic Cathedral (or Duomo as it's known here) as the cradle of Christianity in Europe.
It was here that St Ambrose (one of the four most important Latin doctors of the Church) once held the title of Bishop of Milan in the 4th century and indeed St Ambrose's body lies in the Cathedral for veneration. Today this spectacular city proudly stands as a modern European metropolis, setting an example to the rest of the Italian peninsular of efficiency, commercialism, multicultural diversity, industry and fashion.
