There are 135 statues on display in Milan Cathedral. These statues are mainly located around the main façade, with some also found inside the cathedral itself. The majority of these statues depict figures from the Bible, such as Jesus Christ and various saints. There are a few contemporary sculptures depicting important figures from Italian history, including Leonardo da Vinci and St Francis of Assisi. Many of these statues were added to the cathedral during its extensive renovations in the 19th century, although some have been present since its construction in 1386.
