San Tomaso in Terramara, Neoclassical church in central Milan, Italy.
San Tomaso in Terramara features a portico with six Ionic columns supporting a triangular pediment, which partially conceals a semicircular window above the entrance.
The church's origins trace back to the 11th century, with major reconstruction ordered by Carlo Borromeo in 1576 and the facade completion by Gerolamo Arganini in 1827.
The interior houses notable artworks, including an altarpiece by Giulio Cesare Procaccini depicting Carlo Borromeo's assumption into heaven and a Neoclassical altar by Giuseppe Zanoia.
The church maintains its position as an active religious site, with regular services and visiting hours for those interested in exploring its architectural elements.
The name Terramara derives from either Terra Amara or Terra Mala, referencing the difficult period of barbaric invasions in the area's history.
