Basilica di Santo Stefano Maggiore
Basilica di Santo Stefano Maggiore, Minor basilica in central Milan, Italy.
The Basilica Santo Stefano Maggiore is a church in central Milan featuring Italian Baroque design. The building showcases a prominent cupola and a square layout with four semi-circular niches positioned along its sides.
The original church was built between the 4th and 5th centuries and underwent several rebuildings afterward. A major renovation took place in the 18th century, which shaped its present appearance.
The basilica serves as a spiritual center for Milan's large Filipino community, where masses are regularly celebrated in Tagalog. This role has made it an important gathering place for many worshippers who practice their faith here.
The basilica is centrally located in Milan near other historical sites and is accessible to visitors on most days. Plan your visit during opening hours, which may vary depending on religious services and celebrations.
Baptismal records show that the renowned painter Caravaggio was christened here in 1571. This connection to one of the Renaissance's most important artists adds a distinctive chapter to the basilica's story.
