They have Saint Ambrose's bones on display. Certianly not every day you get to see something like that. Stay for a Mass if you have time. Ambrosian Rights Catholics sing much more of the Mass.

This is a beautiful church a bit off-centre. It has a great atmosphere. It is worth to study all the details of the sculptures in the courtyard and inside.

This was our second visit to S. Ambrogio and we made time especially to return.
There is so much to see but make sure to tour the very ancient section with artifacts from early century Christianity. There is a small fee for this.
The crypt under the altar where the Patron Saint is laid to rest was particularly wonderful to...
