Basilica di Santo Stefano Maggiore, Minor basilica in central Milan, Italy.

The Santo Stefano Maggiore Basilica exhibits Italian Baroque architecture with a prominent cupola and four semi-circular exedras in its square floor plan.

The initial construction of the basilica occurred between 364 and 402 CE, followed by multiple reconstructions including a significant renovation in the 18th century.

The basilica holds regular masses in Tagalog language for the Filipino community while maintaining its role as an active Catholic parish church in Milan.

Located near other historical monuments in Milan's center, the basilica remains open for religious services and welcomes visitors throughout the week.

The baptismal records from 1571 confirm this basilica as the location where the renowned painter Caravaggio received his christening.
