A new special opening of the Duomo’s Rooftops on Thursdays until 10pm
The emotion of the sunset amongst the spires until 29 July
After the first evening's experimentation on Thursday, 10 June, the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano confirms an extraordinary visiting opportunity with an extension to opening hours, a prelude to the upcoming summer season!
Every Thursday until 29 July, in the season when the colours of the sunset enchantingly tinge the Candoglia marble, visitors to the Duomo can enjoy the opportunity of going up to the Rooftops, in the lift (starting from €14/€7), until 10pm (the last entry will be at 9.10pm). For the occasion, the Ticket Office in Sala delle Colonne (Piazza del Duomo 14/A) will also be open until 9pm.
On the other hand, from 8 to 29 July, on the occasion of the evening opening of the Duomo Museum, it will be possible to benefit from the combined rate for Terraces by lift + Duomo Museum € 14.00 full price / € 7.00 reduced under 18.
Discovering the suggestive panorama over the city is something to experience at least once in one’s lifetime. Visit in complete safety and in compliance with all the health provisions in place, and admire the 135 spires, the numerous ornaments and statues, the Madonnina, and all those precious architectural elements that make the Duomo the most splendid civitas firma of Gothic beauty. The Cathedrals’ Rooftops do not turn off with the fading of the light: the Duomo’s statues at dusk seem to take on life and free themselves from their moorings, “whispering ancient and secret stories into your ears”, as the poet Heinrich Heine observed almost two centuries ago.
