Santi Nereo e Achilleo Basilica
Santi Nereo e Achilleo Basilica, Minor basilica in Milan, Italy
Santi Nereo e Achilleo Basilica is a church in Milan featuring traditional architecture with a central nave, side aisles, and octagonal pillars supporting the structure. The interior rhythm is created by these columns running through the full length of the worship space.
The church was established in 1940 from designs by architect Giovanni Maggi, commissioned by Cardinal Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster. This period marked an expansion of parish structures in Milan.
The church follows the Ambrosian Rite, a distinct form of Latin liturgy that has shaped worship in northern Italy for centuries. You can experience this tradition in services held here today.
The church is situated in the city and accessible on foot with free entry during visiting hours. Keep in mind that worship times may limit access to certain areas, so it helps to check local information before your visit.
The basilica is named after Saints Nereus and Achillaeus, two early Christian martyrs whose stories many visitors overlook. The choice of these patron saints reflects a long tradition within the Catholic Church.
