4.5 based on 3,755 reviews
Why visit a cemetery when you’re on vacation, you ask? The tombs at this Milan burial ground offer a great glimpse of Italian artistic styles from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The tombs of Milans famous and wealthy citizens from the 19th and early 20th centuries are large and extravagant. It's like walking around a huge, intriguing sculpture garden, it's fascinating. Well worth the visit. The China Town section of Milan is within walking distance if you want Asian food later.

The Charterhouse was founded by notarial deed on September 19th, 1349 by Giovanni Visconti, archbishop and lord of Milan, who donated it to the Carthusian order, together with other personal belongings. Petrarca's account is what is left of the primary Charterhouse. In 1388 Giovanni's nephew, Luchino Novello Visconti, regarded as the second founder, donated, on his death, all his belongings to the Carthusian monks. In the XVth century the Charterhouse look was completely modified.

6. Torre Hadid
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 54 reviews
Reviewed By stinkwink - Sydney, Australia
The edifice - which is a perfect example of the remodeling of the CityLife - is the work of Zaha Hadid, an Anglo-Iraqi architect. The large building strangely and aggressively soars to the sky. It is as if giants were playing, building a tower, and twisting it afterward. A 192-meter-tall skyscraper can be spotted from afar, with its glossy glass surfaces glittering across the horizon, and almost inviting the famous beautiful old monumental buildings to compete. Two eras, two designs are clashing, and both proudly bear the finest features of their own style.
