You don't expect to see skyscrapers when you come to Milano. But you're wrong! Torri Unicredit is really nice and well integrated in the modern complex of Piazza Gae Aulenti.

We visited the archeological area as a part of the Duomo ticket. The entrance is from inside the Cathedral and the site is just beneath it. Here you can see the remains of the foundations of the original basilica of St Tecla (on top of which the present Duomo was built), the baptisteries of San Stefano and San Giovanni alle Fonti.

Piazza della Scala is a significant square adjacent to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Zona 1 Centro Storico area of the city. In the middle of the square is the monument of Leonardo da Vinci which was sculpted by Pietro Magno in 1872. There are some important buildings surrounding the piazza including Teatro alla Scala opera house from which the piazza takes its name and is situated on the north western side, at the opposite side is Palazzo Marino. The piazza is certainly impressive and was relatively quiet when I visited in July 2020, it is a part of the city that cannot be missed on a visit to the city.

Located in Piazza della Scala and adjacent to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is the sculpture of Leonardo da Vinci. The monument was erected in 1872 and was sculpted by Pietro Magni. It is an elaborately designed sculpture and portrays Leonardo da Vinci overseeing four of his students who are located on each of the four corners at the base of the monument. It is in a fitting location within the piazza and is one of many sights to be seen whilst in the city, it is a few steps away from the northern passage entrance of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
