Milan Italy - Wandering through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II Shopping Mall June 7, 2019

After breakfast on our first morning in Milan, we had a few hours before we needed to go to the airport and meet Doug and Barb so we decided to explore Milan.  


We headed to the Duomo and this beautiful mall, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.  It is Italy's oldest shopping mall and a major landmark of Milan. Housed within a four-story double arcade in the center of town, the Galleria is named after Victor Emmanuel, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy. It was designed in 1861 and built by architect Giuseppe Mengoni between 1865 and 1867.  It is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Milan Duomo

We didn't have time to wait in line to tour the Milan Duomo, but we snapped a few pictures outside.  The detail on the church is amazing as you can see!  This could be on a visit list for the future!
