Basilica di Santo Stefano Maggiore

A very big and beautifully designed church with beautiful stained glass windows and paintings hung on chains along both sides of the nave as well as ornately decorated ceiling.

The Basilica of Santo Stefano Maggiore is an ancient church in Milan. Initially dedicated to the prophet San Zaccaria, it was then dedicated to Saint Stephen in the 10th century. In its history it has undergone numerous reconstruction, expansion and restoration interventions. It is also called Santo Stefano in Brolo (from the historical name of the area) or Santo Stefano alla Porta (in reference to the poster of Santo Stefano, which no longer exists).

It is definitely one of the hidden gems Milan possesses. I was absolutely stunned by the beauty of the paintings and works of art in the church. It is literally right next to the Santuario Di S. Bernardino Alle Ossa, so please go take a look!! I can't believe how little reviews this beautiful church has on Google map :)

The Basilica di Santo Stefano Maggiore is a true architectural gem. Its stunning design and rich history make it a must-visit attraction for history and art enthusiasts. The intricate details, beautiful artwork, and serene atmosphere create a sense of awe and reverence. Whether you're seeking spiritual solace or simply admiring the beauty of the basilica, it is a remarkable place that leaves a lasting impression.

STUNNING CHURCH, BEAUTIFUL FRESCOS, AWESOME STATUES, MYSTERIOUS ATMOSPHERE CREATED BY THE DARK ENVIRONMENT and LITTLE LIGHTING. ROOMY and BEAUTIFUL.

Near DUOMO and OSSUARY.

Definitely worth a visit to this Philippine church if you're in the neighborhood. I actually went there during Mass and was the only non-philippine person around. But they were very nice about it and included me in their rituals.

After Mass (only on Sundays I've read) there are Philippine people selling food outside the church which is also really nice. Definitely try it if you have the chance.

NO BONES HERE!!!! You're looking for the church next door.

Wow, it’s really old👍🏻

Beautiful church. Peaceful and quiet. Don't forget to Donate some money, because it can use some restauration.

A very interesting catholic church with great architecture.

It’s the gorgeous place

I visited the church for pre christmas mass and novena mass its a filipino tradition.

A great church

Historical place where one of Dukes from Sforza Family was assassinated. Visitors are allowed to take non commercial photo without flash light.

Lucky to experience it with no one else around. Right next to the Ossuary so there's no excuse to miss it.

Beautiful church

Free admission. Beautiful Catholic Church.

Old Balsilica which is not renovated which makes it even more interesting

This is a beautiful church and well worth a visit
