More information on Basilica di S. Ambrogio
The basilica of St. Ambrogio is the 'symbolic' church of the city which was originally built in 379 on the tombs of St. Gervasio and St. Protasio. A presbytery and a monastery have also been built on this site in the course of centuries, which have seen different constructions up to the end of the twelfth century, including the construction of the Canonici bell tower (on the right) and the older one of the Monaci (on the left of the facade). The Romanesque facade is one of the greatest examples of Lombard period architecture. The interior is made up of a long body with three aisles which open on to secondary spaces and extremely interesting chapels. The chapels date back to the later time of the Sforzo dynasty (end of the 15th century and early 16th century). The presbytery and cloisters of the convent are built according to a design by Bramante. Also to be noted are the ciborium, the gold altar and paleochristian mosaics.
