It is one of the oldest churches in the city of Milan, of which it is one of the best-known symbols, and of all Christianity. The Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio , located in the square of the same name, is one of the main examples of medieval Romanesque architecture, of high artistic, historical and religious value. It is here that Saint Augustine was converted, meeting Bishop Ambrose, founder of the basilica dedicated to him.

The church is preceded by a large quadriportico, overlooked by the gabled façade, with two levels of arches, and the two bell towers, that of the Monks and that of the Canons. Under the portico is the treasure of Sant'Ambrogio, which includes goldsmith's objects, fabrics, tapestries, marble, stucco, mosaics, wooden fragments and paintings. Pause in front of the so-called " Devil's Column ", which owes its name to the legend according to which the devil, fighting with Saint Ambrose, stuck his horns right into the column, on which two side-by-side holes are still visible today.

Inside the church, along the left nave, in the first chapel there is a valuable fresco by Bergognone, the risen Christ and angels. In the lower apse, however, you can admire the crypt in which the bodies of saints Ambrose, Gervasio and Protasio are preserved.

The basilica is accessible to disabled people and often hosts groups and schools, as long as the visits are conducted by private guides. Inside the architectural complex you will also find a small museum and a bookshop.

Eine der ältesten Kirchen in Mailand und Grablege des Hl. Kirchenlehrers Ambrosius. Eine ausdrucksstarke romanische Architektur mit gotischen, barocken und modernen Ausstattungsstücken und Kunstwerken. Sehr sehenswert ist die Krypta mit dem Grab des Heiligen Ambrosius.

A Milano, una delle più importanti chiese cattoliche antiche in stile romanico del 386 d.Hr.
Sotto l'altare di Sant'Ambrogio si trovano i corpi dei santi Ambrogio, Gervasiua e Protasio

Molto interessante, ben conservata tutta la chiesa. La cripta con i resti dei santi è emozionante. Ingresso gratuito, consiglio di ascoltare la lunga storia con le postazioni audio al costo di 1€.

A faire !
Cet édifice est surprenant !!
L'atrium est reposant, et la basilique est imposante. Le calme aide à la relaxation.
La visite est intéressante, il ne faut pas sous estimer cet édifice finalement peu visité

vraiment impressionnante
En recherchant les ombres, nous atteignons la basilique Saint-Ambroise de Milan, un passage obligé à Milan et que la plupart des gens ignorent. Les vestiges du patron de Milan y sont conservés et la construction, basée sur des vestiges, est vraiment impressionnante dans ses détails plus que dans son intégralité. L'entrée est gratuite et n'est pas remplie de touristes qui préfèrent le Duomo.

Beautiful Romanesque basilica, one of the most beautiful churches in the city. It surprises with its open atrium before reaching the entrance portico, as well as its two original towers. The interior is clear and well preserved for a church of that time.

Magnifique! et tout le quartier a du charme. Un de mes endroits préférés à Milan!
L'architecture est splendide, l'atmosphère y est aussi toute particulière; pour les amateurs il y a de belles pièces d'orfèvrerie à l'intérieur. A visiter à mon avis lors d'un passage dans la ville

le centre de la "Milanesità" auquel tiennent beaucoup les milanais.
Un très bel exemple de roman lombard que nous connaissons mal.
Les alentours ont été refaits faisant de l'endroit un oasis de calme près du centre
