Though the visage of Milan is first of all determined by the modern architecture, in this city one can find a lot of historical places and points of interest. At first sight quite often appears a one-sided impression of the city. But in reality Milan is something more than an industrious metropolis: the closer you get to the center, the oftener you see marvelous old houses, churches and squares. To have a look on all the sights of Milan you'll need more than a day.
