Chapter 525: Milan Cathedral!(Ask for a subscription!Ask for a monthly pass!)
Milan Cathedral!
As mentioned earlier!
In fact, words cannot describe the grandeur and magnificence of the Milan Cathedral!
Duomodi Milano, the famous Catholic church in Italy, is the cathedral of Milan and one of the five cathedrals in the world, the second largest in the world.
Construction began in 1386 and the vault was completed in 1500, and in 1774 the La Madonnina (gilded statue of the Virgin Mary) on the tallest Gothic spire was built by Giuseppe Perego and is the symbol of the city of Milan. The entire church was completed in 1965 and took five centuries. Napoleon was crowned at the Duomo of Milan in 1805.
8:30 a.m.!
Zhao Feng took Zhao Xue, Su Yanfei, He Jun, and Gary to the Milan Cathedral by car, ready to visit!
The silver spirit convoy slowly came to a halt at the edge of the square in front of the church!
It attracted the attention of many tourists around!
The reason why I am driving these Rolls-Royce Silver Spirits is completely because the order from Stephen's side of Lamborghini's headquarters can't go through the formalities for a while!
In particular, those cars have just left the factory, and a series of procedures such as vehicle inspection must be carried out before they can be delivered!
This can't be simplified in any way!
However, even with the silver spirit many years ago, no one despised the people who walked off these cars!
Because the silver spirit is a model of the last century, whether it is accessories or colors, it is very lacking, so although these cars are old cars, the cost of maintenance and repair is not as cheap as the current Rolls-Royce Phantom!
People who can ride such an old luxury car are also worth a lot of money!
Even if these silver spirits may be older than Zhao Fengdu!
。。。
As soon as I got out of the car, I felt the feeling of being in the spotlight! Zhao Feng was still a little uncomfortable!
Fortunately, it's just some people around you who look at this side!
Zhao Xue and Su Yanfei got off the station together behind Zhao Feng, today the two girls are wearing skirts, but Zhao Xue is wearing a little sexier, the kind of slim skirt that reaches above the knee, and Su Yanfei is wearing a light blue long skirt! With little white shoes, it really has a taste of first love.
Ahem!
Zhao Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at the huge building in front of him!
I can't help but admire in my heart!
It's magnificent!
Located in Piazza Duomo in the heart of Milan, the church is 158 meters long and 93 meters wide at its widest point.
The spire reaches 108.5 meters at its highest point.
Compared to some modern high-rise buildings, it is not far behind!
However, the Duomo of Milan is surrounded by some old buildings, but there is no taller building than the cathedral.
With the flow of people, he slowly walked towards the inside of the church! On the way, He Jun, the world's top security personnel, was completely regarded as a cameraman by Zhao Feng!
Holding the camera and clicking is a shot!
Zhao Xue and Su Yanfei, two girls, inevitably picked up their mobile phones to take selfies, and pulled Zhao Feng, the boss, to act as a background board with the Milan Cathedral!
After taking a few nice photos, the group walked into the church!
It is also worth mentioning the footprint of the Milan Cathedral!
With a total area of 11,700 square meters, the Duomo of Milan can accommodate 35,000 people.
"The Cathedral of Milan was of great importance in the religious world, and it was here that the famous Edict of Milan was promulgated, which legalized Christianity and became the state religion of the Roman Empire. ”
At this time, a person who looked like a tour guide in front of me began to introduce aloud!
Zhao Feng, Su Yanfei, and Zhao Xue didn't know much about the church, so they all looked at the tour guide and listened to each other's explanations!
Leonardo da Vinci Bramante painted numerous sketches of his designs to make the cathedral even more magnificent. Napoleon was crowned here, and Leonardo da Vinci invented the elevator for the building. ”
"The Duomo of Milan is also the building with the most sculptures and the most minarets in the world, and is known as the Marble Mountain. The Duomo of Milan is also the main church of the Catholic Archdiocese of Milan, the largest in the world. ”
"The Duomo of Milan is not only a church, a building, it is also a spiritual symbol and symbol of Milan, and a miracle in the history of world architecture and world civilization. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Feng's mouth had a disdainful smile!
Of course, this disdain is not for this cathedral!
Zhao Feng also admires this cathedral!
But thinking that it took five centuries for the Italian people to build this church, Zhao Feng couldn't help it!
There are also many magnificent ancient buildings in China, although they are not similar buildings, but Zhao Feng is a simple example!
It's like the Forbidden City of Yanjing in China!
The Forbidden City was built in 1406 A.D., and the completion time was 1420, the scale is far more than other ancient buildings in the world, and the artistic attainments are not low, but it only took 16 years in total!
At this time, the group walked into the lobby of the church!
The tour guide in the lobby saw the tourists in front of him and continued to introduce with a smile!
The church is entirely made of white marble, and the hall is 59 meters wide and 130 meters long, with a central vault of 45 meters high. The peculiarity of the church is in its appearance. ”
"Pointed arches, pilasters, flowered latticework, with 135 minarets, like dense Tallinns piercing into the sky, and on each spire there are statues of gods. ”
Speaking of this, the tour guide smiled proudly and continued: "There are more than 2,000 statues on the exterior of the church, which is very peculiar. If there are more than 6,000 statues in total, including the internal statues, it is the most Gothic church in the world. ”
"As a result, the church building is particularly ornate and lively, with a secular atmosphere. The church has a 107-metre-high minaret designed by the 15th-century Italian architect Brunoleschi. At the top of the tower there is a statue of the Virgin Mary, golden, which looks brilliant in the sun, magical and magnificent. ”
。。。
A morning of time!
Zhao Feng, Su Yanfei and Zhao Xue toured the entire church!
There are almost 200 photos taken!
If Zhao Feng is a painter who is engaged in painting or architecture!
You might even be interested in this cathedral!
However, Zhao Feng is just an ordinary tourist!
After the tour, it is time to take pictures!
When these two points were satisfied, Zhao Feng did not hesitate to change the goal of the afternoon tour.
As for the goal of the afternoon tour!
Because the Duomo of Milan is not far from the Galleria Emanuele II!
Therefore, Zhao Feng said that the goal was to set the Emanuele II Corridor.
I also brought some souvenirs to the women at home!
Otherwise, when he went back, Zhao Feng felt that he could be nagged crazy by Ye Xin and Fu An'an, the two little girls!
For lunch dining, I also found a nearby restaurant casually!
If you can open a restaurant around the Duomo of Milan, the taste will definitely not be bad!
However, what you want to eat depends on your taste!
