An upward-angled, medium-shot photograph displays the highly ornate Gothic architecture of the Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano) in Milan, Italy. The structure is rendered in light-colored marble, exhibiting extensive intricate carvings, multiple slender spires topped with statues, and numerous statuettes within facade niches. Two large arched windows with dark panes and detailed tracery are visible in the lower-middle section. Above one of these windows, the Latin inscription "MARIAE NASCENTI" is carved into the stone. On the upper right portion of the cathedral, dark-colored scaffolding is present, indicative of ongoing maintenance or restoration. The background consists of a uniformly overcast, light grey sky. No human figures or active interactions are depicted.
