Basilica di San Lorenzo

Situated in the southwestern region of Milan, the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore is a Roman Catholic church. It is among the oldest churches, set within the ring of Navigli in Milan. It attracts tourists with its beautiful mosaics. It lies near the medieval Porta Ticinese and the Basilicas Park.

Notably, the Basilica of San Lorenzo is dedicated to San Lorenzo and is built with huge blocks procured from other Roman sites. It is the oldest Church in Milan that was founded during the fourth century. In front of the Basilica, you will find the Roman Colonne di San Lorenzo (a group of Roman remains, even older than the Basilica). The interiors of the Basilica are adorned with marble and attractive mosaics. Its courtyard encompasses a replica of a bronze statue of Constantine the Great. Notably, visitors must be dressed appropriately to enter the Basilica. This Basilica was originally constructed in Roman times, but afterward, it was reconstructed multiple times over the past centuries.
