It is my honour to have the opportunity to see the different phases of the restoration/renovation of Milan's Duomo, one of the world's most famous Gothic cathedrals.
Let's first look at this old old painting of Milan Duomo. Then follow by another photo of it undergoing a restoration of its facade back in 2005.
The richly decorated facade was covered up for cleaning, to remove the marks left by the industrial revolution of Europe.
In 2007, things got better. Duomo lowered the veil and revealed a bit more of its beauty.
The boards illustrated the different phases of the restoration work. A long process spanning 7 years from 2003 to 2009. So let's see how it looks like after the restoration work in 2010.
Unfortunately, when yours truly visited this magnificent cathedral in May this year, the weather was bad, always raining, non-stop raining. So I can only present to you a less magnificent view from the square of this 4th largest church in the world.
