Milan

Set on the Po Valley plain in Lombardy, Milan is a city whose character is shaped by the flat, well-connected terrain beneath the Alps. Italy’s financial and design capital is also defined by an exceptionally dense historic core. The Gothic Duomo, begun in 1386, anchors Piazza del Duomo, while the 19th-century Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II connects the square with La Scala, the renowned opera house. In the Brera district, galleries and academies sit among older streets; southwest of the centre, the Navigli canal district recalls waterways that once supported trade. Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper is preserved at Santa Maria delle Grazie. Browse other webcams across Lombardy to place Milan in a wider geographic context.
