Basilica di Santa Tecla, Early Christian basilica in Milan, Italy
The Basilica di Santa Tecla featured five naves with a total length of 67.6 meters and width of 45.3 meters.
Emperor Constans ordered the construction of this religious building in 345, initially naming it Basilica Maior before its establishment in 350.
The basilica formed a significant religious complex with the Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore and associated baptisteries in early Christian northern Italy.
Visitors can examine the structural remains of the ancient basilica at the mezzanine level within Milan's Duomo Metro station.
A pagan temple dedicated to Minerva previously occupied the site, which had been built upon an earlier Celtic temple honoring goddess Belisama.
