The Ambrosius basilica is supposedly the burial ground of the first christian bishop of Mediolanum in the Roman era. It was on the edge of the Roman city so it is likely to have been founded on Roman burial grounds. The church is a great example of early mediaval structures.

I definitely think that Basilica di Sant'Ambroglio is a "must-see" in Milan. And I think it is a more manageable church for attending catholic mass as opposed to the Duomo.…
