Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, First Romanesque church in Legnanello, Italy

The Church of the Most Holy Redeemer is a Lombard Romanesque brick and serizzo stone building with three naves divided by two rows of marble columns ending in an apse. The columns carry capitals carved with Christian symbols, and the ceiling is of wooden trusses. An octagonal baptistery stands to the left, and 1923 mosaics on the facade and baptistery lunettes depict the Most Holy Redeemer.

The parish of Legnanello was established on 13 August 1898, creating the need for a new church. The first stone was laid on 26 May 1901, and the building was completed in less than a year with contributions from Barbara Melzi, Archbishop Andrea Carlo Ferrari and many parishioners. It was consecrated by Ferrari on 30 November 1902.
