Santissimo Redentore Church, Romanesque Revival church in Porta Venezia district, Milan, Italy.
Santissimo Redentore Church is a religious building in the Porta Venezia district featuring a facade of red brick with white stone accents and decorative portals. The interior follows a Latin cross layout with colorful columns, cross-vaulted sections, and wall paintings.
Construction began in 1898 under architect Luigi Macchi and the building was completed and consecrated in 1900. This period saw Milan transforming into a modern industrial city.

The church is open during regular hours when services take place throughout the day. Visitors should be respectful of the religious setting and dress appropriately when entering.
The Madonna di Loreto chapel houses a wooden painted statue from the 17th century, a rare artwork from an earlier era. The choir contains two separate organ bodies, an unusual arrangement rarely seen in churches.
