Milan is the administrative centre of the Lombardy region. Located on the Po Plain, the city has a significant cultural heritage that includes squares such as the Piazza del Duomo, palaces built during the Renaissance like the Palazzo della Ragione and its famous opera house, La Scala. It was in Milan that Leonardo da Vinci painted The Last Supper.The emblem of Milan is a magical animal: a semi-woolly sow that created the city, according to legend. Meanwhile, La Madonnina, a golden sculpture representing the Virgin Mary, watches over the city from her position at the very top of the Milan Cathedral, built in 1769. Renowned for being a global fashion capital, many leading fashion houses are based in Milan, including  Prada, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana.
