Arts & Culture
A beautiful church, founded in the 4th century by Eustorgy I, the bishop of Milan to whom is attributed the transfer of the relics of the Magi from Constantinople to the city in 344. Part of the relics are still kept inside the church nowdays. In 1764, when an ancient pillar was removed, a Christian burial was discovered, housing coins of emperor Constans, the son of Constantine the Great. Behind the apse is the most striking feature of the church, the “Portinari Chapel” (1462–1468), one of the most celebrated examples of Renaissance art in Lombardy. It has frescoes by Vincenzo Foppa and a marble sepulchre by Giovanni di Balduccio, a 14th-century pupil of Giovanni Pisano.

One of the oldest churches in Milan. It’s nearby the city park called Parco delle Basiliche (Basilicas’ Park), which includes both the Basilica of San Lorenzo and the Basilica of Sant’Eustorgio, as well as the Roman “Colonne di San Lorenzo”, one of the few remains of the Roman “Mediolanum”, dating from the 3rd century AD and probably belonging to the large baths built by the emperor Maximian. They were carried in the current place when the basilica construction was finished. Once inside don’t miss the famous Cappella di Sant’Aquilino.
