Milan Cathedral
A new European cathedral.
In the place where the Duomo stands, once stood the ancient cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore, a winter cathedral, and the basilica of Santa Tecla, a summer cathedral.
After the collapse of the bell tower, the archbishop Antonio de 'Saluzzi, supported by the population, promoted the reconstruction of a new and larger cathedral (12 May 1386), which would rise on the site of the oldest religious heart of the city.
For the new building, both previous churches began to be demolished: Santa Maria Maggiore was demolished first, Santa Tecla later, in 1461-1462.
(partially rebuilt in 1489 and definitively demolished in 1548).
