Piazza Gae Aulenti

Opened in 2012 and undoubtedly the main symbol of modern Milan, the elegant Gae Aulenti Square combines silhouette-defining towers with three fountains that always have some flow of water running. The square is the perfect place to sit for a while, refresh your Instagram feed, and see where Milan is heading in the future. Right next door is another elegant and stylish tourist attraction in Milan, known as Piazza Gae Aulenti. Surrounded by gleaming skyscrapers, the square offers plenty of restaurants and shops to visit, gathered around a sparkling water feature. Very different from the rest of Milan, the glistening square was named in honor of Gae Aulenti, one of Italy's most prominent architects.
