During this tour you’ll visit the most ancient churches and basilica in Milan built during late Roman Empire and early Middle Age.

Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio is where there are the reliquies of the religious protector of Milan. Its altar, called “Vuolvino’s altar”, is a masterpiece of art of the IX century. You’ll be astonished to see that it is covered by precious stones. But there are many treasures such as the Stilicone’s Sarcophagus and many curiosities and tradition to learn.

Basilica di San Lorenzo is perhaps the most ancient basilica ever built in Milan. Inside St. Aquilino’s chapel you can admire the remains of precious mosaics.

In the Basilica di Sant’Eustorgio you can find part of the reliquies of the Three Wise Men. Here there are tombstones of the duke of Milan in Middle Ages, but also Portinari’s Chapel Painted during early Renaissence with stories about St. Peter from Verona, a preacher buried in a astonishing shrine.
