San Cristoforo sul Naviglio Church, Gothic church at Naviglio Grande canal, Milan, Italy

The church complex consists of two connected buildings featuring Gothic architecture elements, including a rose window and decorated brickwork portal.

The original Romanesque structure underwent reconstruction in the 13th century during the Naviglio Grande excavation, with Gothic additions in the mid-14th century.

The Ducal Chapel section displays the Visconti coat of arms and contains frescoes depicting Madonna Enthroned with Saints and a Crucifixion scene.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and stands directly along the Naviglio Grande canal, making it accessible by water transport or walking paths.

The church structure incorporates two separate buildings merged in 1625, combining a Romanesque church and a Ducal Chapel commissioned by Gian Galeazzo Visconti.
