The Duomo di Milano, is English for the Milan Cathedral. I suggest the Duomo is your 6th point of tourism due to its amazing architecture and history. The building started in 1386 and in 1880's the construction was complete.The Duomo stands at 515 feet tall, and is about 300 feet wide. On top of the main spire stands the statue of Madonna. The Duomo is dedicated to the Madonna. The Duomo is the third largest Church in the world. The Duomo houses much history, as well as housing the tomb of Gian Giacomo Medici di Marignano. There are three bodies in the Duomo, and they are all still somewhat intact. This is a great tourist attraction for teens because the outside is beautiful, and on the inside you are able to see famous historical catholic figures who have not fully decayed, and the public is able to see certain parts of their body still intact. The Duomo is a perfect spot for pictures, and to go inside and view the beauty.
