Duomo of Milan - The Church That Took 600 Years to Finish

Duomo of Milan - The Milan Cathedral is one of the largest churches in the world. It’s a unique building that was built over the course of hundreds of years. Its construction was anything but straightforward. Many of the most famous architects of the time like Leonardo da Vinci were involved. Another iconic historical figure, Napoleon, was eventually responsible for it finally being finished. And even then, it wasn’t officially declared done until 1965.

What a story. No other cathedral like this exists anywhere in the world. Milan’s treasure. Just transporting all the required marble is astounding. What a group of famous well known architects. Thanks for putting this video together.

[@rosieramos9464]

Feeling incredibly lucky to have visited this Cathedral and it was a sunny clear day. Thank you for highlighting the history.

[@mia5986]

I plan to visit Milan next year and the Duomo is the first thing I want to see.

[@AgentAO7]

Just came from Milan & thankfully despite the cold weather, the skies were clear when I visited the Duomo..

[@filippogamer2994]

In Milan it is considered never finished because when they finished building it they began repairing and cleaning the oldest marble and now they have a schedule and you can’t find a moment where nothing is being worked on if you don’t see working on the outside you would see it in the inside and viceversa

[@IntriguedMind]

Fair point. Thanks!

I visited it yesterday and it's amazing.

[@narine2668]

Magnificent, intricate and complex structure! Surprising how you don’t hear much about it. Thanks for the upload!

[@maxsavage3998]

Maybe because its above all others

[@maxsavage3998]

The fact it took 600 years is mindboggling

What are you sources for all this information? I'd love to learn more about it.

[@IntriguedMind]

Been a bit. Let me look into it and get back to you. Thanks for the watch

interesting

[@jonipreti]

A tip about our Duomo here in Milano: it's the only chattedral in the world with a feminine state at the top, instead of a cross.

[@IntriguedMind]

Thanks for the insight!

Cristian and proud ❤

[@GOSPEL276]

If you think this is impressively detailed, you sure as hell have not visited sagrada familia yet....

[@maxsavage3998]

Your kidding me right. Please don't ever compare that horrendous dogs breakfast to this extreme difficult intricate work of art.

[@butterflyfilms939]

​@@maxsavage3998Never knew there are christian architecture gatekeepers, but in all honesty, how exactly do you think the Sagrada cannot compare?

YOOOO DESTROY LONELY CHURCH

Anor Londo did it better

[@agisa123456789]

What a terrible way of telling a story with that monotonous tone but I guess thank you for the info I guess

[@butterflyfilms939]

It's not monotonous, it's just very low, with variation nontheless, albeit not too much.

False and stolen story 😢

From who?

[@jimw7916]

600 years hahahahahaaha ....lies

[@jrlovesu02]

Nice monument however, I cannot wrap my mind around building a church to worship God/Jesus yet its decorated with statues honoring everyone (even Napoleon) but the Lord our God...doesn't the 1st two commandments say God is a jealous God & do not make unto thee any graven images?🤔

[@kylo0053]

That's so true

[@amandakarr4960]

Not in the Catholic church! Perhaps you have forgotten that the ten commandments come from Judaism?

[@jrlovesu02]

@@amandakarr4960 Are you implying that Catholics do not believe in or observe the 10 commandments? The book of Exodus & Deuteronomy is not included in "their bible"?

[@amandakarr4960]

@@jrlovesu02 not at all but catholic churches are full of images and statues of Christ, Mary and the saints. They chose not to adhere to the 'images' bit. Islamic and Jewish temples do not have such decoration, and if you remember Charlie Hebdo, it is taken very seriously. When 'Christianity' was brought to the west it assumed the artistic heritage of the Greeks and Romans.

[@maxsavage3998]

Statues are fine unless you worship them then its idolatry
