Basilica di Sant’Eustorgio

This temple, which after S. Ambrogio is the most important medieval monument in Milan, is in the square with the same name, in the quarter of Porta Ticinese. Maybe it has been built by the bishop Eustorgio (315-331), who wanted to be buried there and brought there the relics of  the Magi from Costantinopoli, was rebuilt under a Romanesque style during  XII century. Behind the apse there is the Portinari Chapel, wanted by Pigello Portinari, one of the most important works of Lombard Renaissance made by two rooms with a squared plan, covered by cupolas with multicoloured decors typically from Lombardy.

Address: Piazza Sant’Eustorgio 1 – Milano
