Oratorio di San Protaso, Religious oratory in Lorenteggio district, Milan, Italy
The Oratorio di San Protaso features a rectangular layout with a wooden coffered ceiling and three ogival openings on the side walls.
The oratory, established on January 17, 1001, initially served as a place of worship for local peasants outside the walls of medieval Milan.
The building contains several historical frescos depicting hunting scenes and religious imagery, including works attributed to Fra' de Porta Vercellina.
The oratory opens its doors during the Festa del Lorenteggio neighborhood festival on the first Sunday of May and last Sunday of November.
The structure now stands in the median strip of a major road, preserved through community protests against urban development in the 1950s.
