Milan Hostels

The Gallery of Modern Art takes place in the gorgeous Villa Reale. There one can find works by Italian and French masters of the 2 last centuries. From the central Duomo Square one can easily get to the Gallery of Vittorio Emanuele II. In this gallery of the 19th century with glass cupolas take place the exclusive boutiques, posh restaurants and specialized shops. The building was created by Giuseppe Mengoni. He finished all the work, but unfortunately he didn't see how the building was unveiled: in 1878 he fell from the roof and died. Your special attention deserve not only the glass roofs, but also the amazing mosaics on the floor and the marvelous cupola over the central square that makes it one of the greatest sheltered squares in the world.

The Monumental Cemetery. To look at the Monumental Cemetery you should a little bit move to the north of Milan. The enormous complex is rich in historical and architectural monuments. The central building of the cemetery was projected by Maciachini in 1860-1897. The building has the neo-medieval style, but its architecture surely has something from Tuscan and Venetian styles. A lot of chapels and tombs make this cemetery some kind of an open-aired museum. The admission there is free.
