Italy

The rooftops among the spires, the Madonnina on the great spire, the stained glass windows, and the archaeological area and museum beside the cathedral.

A circular hall 43.30 metres across and as many high, under a coffered dome that ends in an opening about 9 metres wide, whose ray of light falls on the axis of the door at noon; outside, sixteen Corinthian columns of grey and pink granite hold up the portico.

The basilica, its Pala d'Oro, the Museum with the Loggia dei Cavalli, and the bell tower.
