Milan Central Station

Saturday, 29th April 2006 by James

Milan’s Central Station is covered with giant steel canopies, 341 metres long and covering an area of 66,500 square metres, which look amazing from above.

Milan’s tallest building, the shiny Pirelli Tower is just in front of the station. In 2002, a light aircraft crashed into the tower but it has since been restored and apparently looks better than new.
