Construction began in 1386 under Gian Galeazzo Visconti and wasn't officially finished until the final gate was inaugurated in 1965.

Photography Tips

  • Use a wide-angle lens for the interior nave
  • Golden hour is essential for the marble terraces
  • Flash is prohibited to protect the ancient frescoes and glass

Insider Tips

  • The Museum is often empty compared to the Cathedral; it's a great place to see the original statues up close
  • Visit the rooftop at sunset for the most incredible light for photos
  • The entrance for the lift is on the outside of the building (North Side).

Our Partners

  • In collaboration with Viator, a Tripadvisor company.

  • The pink-tinted marble comes from a single quarry in Candoglia

Worth every penny for the fast track

The line for regular tickets was wrapped around the square. We walked right in at our time slot. The roof is the highlight!

Beautiful but strict dress code

Make sure you cover your shoulders. I had to buy a shawl outside. The tour guide was excellent and knew so much about the history

Great guide, lot of walking

The small group tour was perfect. Our guide, Lucia, was funny and smart. Be prepared for lots of stairs even with the elevator!
