The five curiosities you didn't know about the Madonnina del Duomo in Milan

The city of Milan, the regional capital of Lombardy in Italy, has various symbols that make it world-famous. From La Scala Theatre to San Siro, from the Castello Sforzesco to Navigli, a famous place for youth nightlife.

Inside the symbol, however, is another symbol, namely the Madonnina, a gilded copper statue atop the cathedral's highest spire, which for the Milanese now represents the city in every way. Expressions like 'in the shadow of the Madonnina' are now phrases that all Milanese feel are their own.We certainly haven't told you anything new so far, but would you like to know these five little trivia facts about the symbol of the city of Milan?

Welcome to Jellyfish Lake: a paradise in the Pacific where you can swim with jellyfish

Would you pay to experience something unique in the world? If the answer is yes, then we recommend a visit to Jellyfish Lake, a salt lake located on the island of Eil Malk, in the island state of Palau, Micronesia, in which it is possible to swim among jellyfish. This salt lake, about 500 meters long, is a special closed ecosystem in which jellyfish have lost most of their stinging properties, and it is therefore possible to have an incredible experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world. There are about 600,000 jellyfish within the lake, living in perfect symbiosis with their surroundings. A perfect destination for tourists as well as photographers and naturalists, it is an absolutely unmissable and almost magical sight because of the way these creatures have evolved.
