San Luca Evangelista church, Catholic parish church in northeastern Milan, Italy

San Luca Evangelista church is a parish church in northeastern Milan, designed by Gio Ponti in 1958 and completed in 1960. It has a traditional longitudinal plan with a single nave flanked by two smaller side aisles. Inside, tapered reinforced concrete beams and pillars support a gabled roof, and the same concrete frame shapes the facade. The outer walls are covered with faceted ceramic tiles forming a repeating cross pattern.

The parish was erected in 1957, carved out of the territories of San Giovanni in Laterano and Santa Maria Bianca della Misericordia, as housing spread around Via Vallazze. Gio Ponti designed the church in 1958 and it was completed in 1960.

The parish was created in 1957 from territory taken from San Giovanni in Laterano and Santa Maria Bianca della Misericordia, and the church was built for the new community around Via Vallazze. Gio Ponti's design, completed in 1960, gave the neighbourhood a modern landmark whose ceramic-clad walls are still its most recognisable feature.

The church stands on Via Vallazze in Milan's northeastern zone, in the district served by the parish since 1957. The building is a working parish church, so visits fit around liturgical use rather than a museum timetable. Enter from the street side and look up at the facade before going in, since the concrete frame and ceramic cladding read best from outside.

The outer walls display geometric patterns made from angled ceramic tiles that form repeated cross shapes across the surface. This tile design was unusual for religious architecture in the 1960s and gives the building a modern visual rhythm.
