Verziere Column, Baroque monument in Largo Augusto, Milan, Italy

The Verziere Column rises from Largo Augusto with a statue of Christ the Redeemer at its peak, created by Giuseppe and Gian Battista Vismara.

The column's construction started in 1580 as a religious monument, faced multiple rebuildings, and reached completion in 1673 with the installation of the statue.

Bronze plaques at the base display names of 354 Milanese citizens who died during the Five Days of Milan uprising against Austrian rule.

The column stands near multiple tourist attractions in the Duomo district, with coordinates at 45.4631594 latitude and 9.1972215 longitude.

The column gained its name from the Verziere market, Milan's main vegetable market that operated in this location until 1783.

GPS coordinates: 45.46316,9.19722
