This was the best thing we visited in Milan, very historic in an interesting part of the city. We even gained a free second hand book from a stall in the basilica as they were donated by local people to anyone interested. More

Make sure you are not missing out on checking the skilfully carved wooden door in between the 2 entrances (protected by glass) and all the little Romanesque details everywhere. I can absolutely recommend paying the small entrance fee at the sacristy? in order... More
