Duomo di Milano

The cathedral operator traces construction to 1386 and describes the choice of Candoglia marble as a major Gothic design decision. The Duomo’s terraces bring visitors close to its Gothic structure, Candoglia-marble ornament and 135 spires, according to the cathedral operator. The terrace route has a first level reached by stairs or lift, followed by steep stairs to the higher central terrace. A lift ticket therefore does not establish a completely step-free visit to every level. The operator’s accessibility page limits wheelchair access to part of the first terrace and provides lift and passage dimensions. Choose the appropriate ticket and check current access notices and your particular route.
