Basilica di San Calimero, Romanesque Revival basilica in Quadronno District, Milan, Italy.
The Basilica di San Calimero features a single nave with a semicircular apse, lateral chapels, and a crypt supported by eight granite columns.
The basilica dates back to the fifth century when Bishop Lorenzo initiated its construction, making it one of the oldest religious structures in Milan.
The church contains medieval frescoes in the sacristy, a Madonna between saints by Cristoforo Moretti, and a Nativity scene by Marco d'Oggiono.
Visitors can explore both the main church area and the underground crypt, which contains archaeological remains and historical religious artifacts.
The crypt houses an ancient well where Saint Calimerius, the church's founder and an early bishop of Milan, was reportedly thrown to his death.
