Assalamualaikum.
Seterusnya dari Sforza Castle kami dibawa Amar, our tour guide, berjalan ke Milan grand square, Piazza del Duomo-Milano (Cathedral Square) untuk pergi melihat Duomo di Milano (Milan Cathedral).
Kelihatan masa kami di sini, ada sekumpulan pelancong membuat bike tour bersama Bikethecity Milan Bike Tours.
Saya baca di Milan ini banyak juga tourist scammers. Dua orang lelaki kulit hitam dalam foto di bawah nampak macam scammers but I'm not sure. I saw them approached unsuspecting tourists especially those who are alone and put the bracelets on the tourists wrist and then ask for money. Those horror stories I read in the internet said these scammers asked for an exorbitant amount of money and can be menacing if the tourists do not want to pay. But to be fair, I did not see that happening with these two guys. Perhaps they were honestly selling those bracelets and not scamming.
Milan Tram. Milan mempunyai 18 laluan trem yang beroperasi melepasi tengah malam setiap hari. Beroperasi sejak 1881, rangkaian trem Milan kini sepanjang 180.3 km, menjadikannya salah satu yang terbesar di dunia.
Berhati-hatilah.
Kami bersyukur travel dan walking tour dalam big group kami. Jadi tidaklah risau di approach by scammers.

Wikipedia: The Palazzo della Ragione is a historic building of Milan, Italy, located in Piazza Mercanti, facing the Loggia degli Osii. It was built in the 13th century and originally served as a broletto as well as a judicial seat. As it was the second broletto to be built in Milan, it is also known as the Broletto Nuovo

The pit was originally adjacent to the Palazzo dei Giureconsulti; where it stands now, a large stone was found, known as the "pietra dei falliti" ("bankrupts stone"), where those guilty of bankruptcy would have their naked bottom exposed as a penance.
Jom baca maklumat yang ada di infoboard ini.

Menara jam Palazzo dei Giureconsulti (Palace of Giureconsulti).
Itu dah nampak pun Milan Cathedral.
Milan Cathedral. Di kiri itu adalah Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, sebuah shopping arcade yang mewah.
Di sini ada stesen Milan Open Tour, I think konsepnya macam bas City SightSeeing atau HOHO bus. Kelihatannya juga ada tuk tuk. Rupanya di Milan ini pun ada Tuk Tuk Tour.
Dan inilah Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square).
Wikipedia: Piazza del Duomo ("Cathedral Square") is the main piazza (city square) of Milan, Italy. It is named after, and dominated by, Milan Cathedral (the Duomo). The piazza marks the center of the city, both in a geographic sense and because of its importance from an artistic, cultural, and social point of view. Rectangular in shape, with an overall area of 17,000 m2, the piazza includes some of the most important buildings of Milan (and Italy in general), as well some of the most prestigious commercial activities, and it is by far the foremost tourist attraction of the city.
Milan Cathedral.
Wikipedia: Milan Cathedral (Italian: Duomo di Milano), or Metropolitan Cathedral-Basilica of the Nativity of Saint Mary (Italian: Basilica cattedrale metropolitana di Santa Maria Nascente), is the cathedral church of Milan, Lombardy, Italy. Dedicated to the Nativity of St. Mary (Santa Maria Nascente), it is the seat of the Archbishop of Milan, currently Archbishop Mario Delpini.
The cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete: construction began in 1386, and the final details were completed in 1965. It is the largest church in the Italian Republic—the larger St. Peter's Basilica is in the State of Vatican City, a sovereign state—and one of the largest in the world.
Di dataran ini juga ada patung Statua di Vittorio Emanuele II (Statue of Vittorio Emanuele II) - Statue of the first king of a united Italy who ruled from 1861 to his death in 1878.
Wikipedia: The monument was commissioned to the Italian sculptor Ercole Rosa by King Umberto I upon the death of his father Vittorio Emanuele in 1878 , but was placed in the center of the square only in 1896 as the sculptor died before having finished it.
The monument portrays Vittorio Emanuele in the act of suddenly braking his horse to turn around to incite his soldiers before the bayonet attack in the battle of San Martino in June 1859, the last of the battles of the second Italian war of independence.

| Nampak tak bintik-bintik putih dalam foto di atas. Itulah kapas benih pokok poplar yang ada yang mention dalam blog sebelum ini. Di Milan ini ada banyak pokok itu, sebab itu seringlah nampak 'kapas' berterbangan ditiup angin. |

Juga ada patung singa.
Wikipedia: At the base there are also two lions lying on the side steps, each placing a paw on a plaque engraved with the names "Roma" and "Milan", in reference to the great conquests of the Risorgimento.
Ada banyak burung di sini. Kalau di Venice it is illegal to feed the birds in order to keep the city clean. Tak pasti di sini dataran ini boleh atau tidak. Tapi saya nampak ada tourists yang buat. In fact, siap ada penjual makanan burung lagi. Sila tengok foto singa di atas, ada banyak bird poop.
Teringat saya masa di Trafalgar Square London di mana di sana siap ada pasukan khas yang menggunakan burung helang to scare away the pigeons.

Hand-feeding birds can alter their behavior in harmful ways. It may also potentially spread diseases to humans.
