San Nazaro in Brolo, Basilica in Porta Romana district, Milan, Italy.
The basilica features a Greek cross layout with apses on each arm and an octagonal tambour above the intersection of the cross arms.
Saint Ambrose commissioned this church around 382 CE along the ancient road that connected Mediolanum, now Milan, to Rome.
The Trivulzio Mausoleum, constructed by Bramantino in 1512, stands before the main facade as an octagonal chapel for Condotierre Giangiacomo Trivulzio.
The church maintains regular visiting hours throughout the week and houses important religious relics, including remains of the Apostles beneath its altar.
The Chapel of Saint Catherine of Alexandria contains a large frescoed arch depicting the saint's martyrdom, painted by Bernardino Lanino and Giovan Battista della Cerva.
