Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio
Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio, Minor basilica in Milan, Italy.
Description
Sant'Eustorgio is a Romanesque church in the Ticinese district, south of Milan's historic center. The building includes several side chapels, a bell tower crowned with a star, and an adjacent convent with a cloister and courtyard.
History
The church was founded in the 4th century to house relics of the Three Magi, which were taken to Cologne in 1162. The current building dates mostly from the 12th century and was later expanded with the Portinari Chapel, built between 1462 and 1468.
Culture
The Portinari Chapel, constructed between 1462 and 1468, contains frescoes by Vincenzo Foppa and represents Renaissance art development in Lombardy.
Practical
The entrance to the basilica is on Piazza Sant'Eustorgio, a short walk from Porta Ticinese. The museum and Portinari Chapel have separate opening hours, while the church itself is freely accessible during the day.
Did you know?
The star atop the bell tower recalls the time when the relics of the Three Magi were kept here. The Portinari Chapel contains frescoes by Vincenzo Foppa, among the early examples of Renaissance painting in Lombardy.
