They were patrons of some artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci or Bramante. Thus, its most important tourist attraction is Il Duomo, the vast Gothic cathedral crowned with 135 pinnacles and adorned with over 2,000 different statues.
Its highest tower holds the golden Madonina, the patron saint of the city.

The Pazzo di Brera is another essential element of Milan’s “geography”: it is an art gallery, library, astronomical observatory and fine arts academy.
