Planning notes for Milan
Milan is located in the Po Valley of northern Italy and serves as the capital of the Lombardy region. Founded by the Insubres around 600 BC and later named Mediolanum by the Romans, the city served as the capital of the Western Roman Empire from 286 to 402 AD. The city’s architectural history is defined by the Duomo di Milano, a Gothic cathedral constructed over nearly six centuries, featuring 135 spires and over 3,400 statues. Other central landmarks include the 15th-century Castello Sforzesco.
