Next, we find ourselves in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, an architectural marvel often referred to as Italy’s oldest shopping mall. Opened in 1867, this elegant arcade is significant for its impressive glass dome and mosaic floors depicting various Italian regions—making it a vibrant hub for fashion lovers and food enthusiasts alike. Don’t forget to spin on your heel over the bull emblem embedded in the floor; it's said that doing so brings good luck!
Finally, let’s step into Sforza Castle (Castello Sforzesco), which dates back to the 15th century when it was built by Francesco Sforza as a fortress before becoming one of Europe’s most important residences.
