Milan is a relatively small town, with Piazza Duomo (or the Cathedral Square) as its historical and geographical umbilicus.
| |
|
.:. The city center is enclosed by the inner ring, corresponding to the walls which protected Milan during the Middle Ages. (Those walls, by the way, are no longer there). |
| |
| |
|
.:. A wider area is enclosed by the ’Viali’ or ‘Bastioni’, the ring of the 16th-century Spanish Walls (almost completely gone, too). Today, driving in this area involves a congestion charge. |
| |
| |
|
.:. The area outside the Bastioni is more recent. Its outer boundary is called the 'Circonvallazione Esterna', a ring made up of the connecting road on the near outskirts of town.
|
| |
| |
|
.:. Then there are the real outskirts... |
