Milan's
Duomo is the second largest Catholic cathedral in the world: only
Seville Cathedral is larger (and St. Peter's Basilica doesn't count
because it's not a cathedral). Milan Cathedral is 157 meters long and
40,000 people can fit comfortably within. The Gothic cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete. Groundbreaking: 1386. Completed: 1965. The huge building is made of brick faced with Candoglia marble. - Sacred Destinations: Milan Cathedral (online April 2016)
