Duomo (Cathedral)Milan's Duomo is a particularly large and elaborate Gothic cathedral on the main square in the city center. It is the second largest Catholic cathedral in the world.
Early Christian BaptisteryBeneath Milan's famous Duomo lies the Battistero Paleocristiano, ruins of a Christian baptistery dating from the 4th century. Although opinion remains divided, it is widely believed to be where St. Ambrose, Milan's first bishop and patron saint, baptized St. Augustine.
Sant AmbrogioNoted for its architecture, this basilica was consecrated by St. Ambrose in 387 AD. It became the model for all Lombard Romanesque churches.
San Lorenzo MaggioreDating from the 4th century AD, the Chiesa di San Lorenzo Maggiore is the oldest church in Milan. It recalls the days when the city was the capital of the Western Roman Empire. Sixteen ancient Roman columns line the front of the church and the foundations are made of enormous blocks taken from other Roman sites.
