Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio

A beautiful historic Romanesque Basilica we accidentally stumbled upon while frolicking through the streets of Milano. One of the most ancient churches in the city, built by St. Ambrose (saint patron of Milan) in 379 – 386. Features early 13^th-​century mosaics and murals throughout the church.
I don’t know how it was possible for us to have missed viewing the remains of St. Ambrose, but do get a chance to get a glimpse of his corpse dressed in liturgical vestments. Reminds me of Paul Koudounaris’ book: Heavenly Bodies, which is a history of skeletons taken from the Roman Catacombs as presumed martyrs, and lavishly decorated with jewels. Pretty cool stuff if you’re into dark arts or are a twisted individual like myself. ;)

It is must see! For those to look for the glorious past of Milan and Mediolan!
Saint Abrogio (Ambrosios) is a great saint and patron of Milan.
Mixture of Byzantine and western cultures,
Nice century old wall paintings will take you into glorious past.
Quite place with a lot to say… Do not look to much reviews, no review will give you full description of the place. Just take your time, visit and feel yourself.

Yet another beautiful church in Milan. It is not just a beautiful church though, it is one that is filled with history. It is actually one of the oldest churches in Milan which was built by St. Ambrose in 379– 386. There was alot of religious conflict surrounding the area at this time. The building suffered from bombing during the war. If you would like to see the oldest part of the church that dates back to the early Christian times in Milan you can pay a couple of Euros to see the old part with some treasury items and religious relics. Very interesting and I thought it was worth a few Euros, but then I love history.

A must see stop while in Milano, very old and beautiful Basilica. Had some construction going on when I visited so could not see everything.

A né pas manquer !
Avec un extérieur un peu sombre et pas nécessairement très avenant, on né s’attend pas à ce qu’on va trouver à l’intérieur: une église très lumineuse, très pure, magnifique ! Un autel somptueux, d’or, d’argent et de pierres précieuses, un choeur tout aussi impressionnant avec une mosaïque sublime. L’ambon (pupitre pour la lecture des Evangiles) est également admirable. Né pas négliger non plus toutes les chapelles latérales, pleines de charme et de lumière. En un mot, courez-​y vite !
