Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio

So much knowledge and answers in this one space. Such a week maintained building! I am happy I chose to visit when I did, I ended up having an assignment on basilicas a few days later.

Gorgeous church with incredible iconography. I enjoyed seeing everything in there. I would have taken more pictures, but I think it’s a malocchio to take pictures of the dead.

Beautiful basilica and has a long history too. You can appreciate the beauty of it for free as there are no entry charges.

Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio is one of the most ancient churches in Milan, it was commissioned by St. Ambrose in 379–386, in an area where numerous martyrs of the Roman persecutions had been buried. The first name of the church was in fact Basilica Martyrum. The church building has undergone several restorations and partial reconstructions, assuming the current appearance in the 12th Century, when it was rebuilt in the Romanesque style. (wiki)
This church, its architecture and artwork, is simply amazing. Don't miss it. Just one advice: some people try to sell tickets to visit. Don't buy it. Actually, it's free.

Stunning archiecture. You can feel the wind od history there. Those skeletons on clothes are bit creepy, but worth seeing. Free entrance, but always worth to leave the change in boxes available inside.

Brilliant information, and a special moment to pray at the tomb of St Ambrose. Free entry throughout, which is great (especially compared to the Domus!)

If visiting Milan do not skip .. not as busy as the il Duomo … rich history

One of the most amazing places to visit when you are in Milan.
The basilica is really old and well preserved as you feel the same period when it was constructed.

It is so peaceful here! And the architecture is just beautiful. It’s busy outside but as soon as you enter it’s so serene. I definitely recommend visiting here!

Go and visit this beautiful church, please! The entry is free. If you want a tour, you can find a staff member right at the church and ask for the tickets. The inside area is very cozy, pretty, warm. Smells amazing.

Exploring the magnificent basilica in detail was a delightful experience.

Really awesome church that we stumbled upon while wandering Milan. You can walk in during the appropriate hours and look around. Theres a tour that costs money, but you can look around a little for free.

Just love this architect
It is so tranquil and beautiful

Beautiful church with a great history. If you are in Milan, you should definitely stop by. It's also free and easy to get to by metro

Super old church in Milan, it's well worth a look, you can see the difference in the building style and architecture.
Lots of Greek/Latin inscriptions to look at.
It's walkable from the church nearby with the last supper.

A historical place and beautiful architecture. The work on this iconic place is totally amazin. Intricate stone work. Coukd not take my eyes of the size. The cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete: construction began in 1386, and the final details were completed in 1965. Milan's layout, with streets either radiating from the Duomo or circling it, reveals that the Duomo occupies what was the most central site in Roman Mediolanum, that of the public basilica facing the forum. The first cathedral, the "new basilica" (basilica nova) dedicated to St Thecla, was completed by 355. It seems to share, on a slightly smaller scale, the plan of the contemporaneous church recently rediscovered beneath Tower Hill in London.[5]

The religious heart of Milano. A church not be missed due to its beauty and significance.
The services are most beautiful.

The church of St Ambrose , who was the Bishop of Milan , is one of the most spiritual places in the city ,with the museum inside containing many wonderful mosaic from the 4th century and a lot of monuments , objects and written pieces about the that great era .

Interesting columns, made of recycled sections of stone and marble. Excellent restoration practice evidencing the evolution of time
Its free of charge and no crowds!

The volume and the detail of a very old, historical but still imposing Saint and environment. Must be inquisitive, patient and observant.
