Milan, a religious city

In this text you will know what the population of Milan has to do with the cathedrals in addition to how much they are influenced by religion and a little bit about the cathedrals themselves. I believe that the people are very influenced by religion.

In Milan, the population doesn’t have this idea of being very religious, but they are, more than normally. In Milan, there are 3 very important cathedrals, but the other 4 cathedral are the most used by the population. Milan is a city that has everything, such as two of the best teams in the whole world, one ‘’f1’’ track, the fashion style, etc… therefore people know Milan by these things and the cathedrals. And it attracts tourism to the city and the country.

Milan is a city that attracts all types of tourists for many reasons. For example: Soccer, cars, fashion style, cathedrals. So the cathedrals call the attention every where in the world.

The World Trade Center used to be one of the most important symbols of Manhattan island.

In 1993, a bomb exploded on the 1st floor of the World Trade Center and 6 people were dead and 1000 were wounded in the attack. In 2001 the buildings collapsed in a bigger attack.

This city is called New York because the Englishmen invaded the island and they called “New York” in consideration of the Duke of York (James).
