New lighting heightens beauty of Milan's Duomo

December 10, 2010

Church officials in Milan have installed new lights in the city’s famous cathedral, the Duomo, so that the stained-glass windows are illumined from within, providing a spectacular view from the piazza in front of the cathedral.

The new lights inside the Duomo were lit on December 8 to celebrate the feast of the Immaculate Conception. The windows will be illuminated throughout the Christmas season, and then on weekends and religious feast days.
