Private walking tour: Ambrosian Basilicas and Medieval Milan

 

In the second half of the 4th century, Milan underwent a significant transformation, largely due to the influential and visionary efforts of Bishop Ambrose.

 

His promotion of the construction of numerous places of worship marked the beginning of the Ambrosian basilicas. These iconic structures were built just outside the Roman city walls, strategically positioned along the main routes leading into the city.

 

Join us on this fascinating tour to explore the rich history and architectural splendor of these ancient sites. Discover how Bishop Ambrose’s legacy continues to shape Milan’s spiritual and cultural landscape to this day.

ITINERARY

  • Sant’Ambrogio, the Cloisters, and the Canonica: Explore the Basilica Martyrum, a testament to early Christian devotion and Ambrose’s enduring influence.
  • SS. Apostoli and Nazaro: Visit the Basilica Apostolorum, another remarkable example of Ambrosian architecture and religious significance.
  • San Giovanni in Conca: From an Early Christian basilica to the private chapel of the powerful Visconti family, this site offers a unique glimpse into Milan’s medieval past. (*subject to the church’s opening hours)
  • San Simpliciano or Sant’Eustorgio: Choose to visit either the Basilica Virginum or the relic chest of the Magi, both steeped in history and architectural beauty.

 

Important: participants can select any two of the proposed basilicas to tailor their tour experience according to their interests.
