Milan Cathedral photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow The cathedral is white marble, over a brick core, and has a cruciform plan. One
of the largest cathedrals in the world (14,000 square yards) it was designed to
accommodate 40,000 worshippers. The forest of pinnacles, the tracery panels, and the rich embellishment with statuary identifies it as Late Gothic. Closer to France than most Italian cathedrals, it borrows more directly from the French "rayonnant" style.
