Sant'Ambrogio ad Nemus, Baroque convent in Milan, Italy.

Sant'Ambrogio ad Nemus is a Baroque convent in Milan that includes an oratory and a church decorated with frescoes on its walls and entrance. The architectural complex displays the characteristic style of the 17th century with religious painted decorations that define the interior spaces.

The site's history reaches back to the 4th century, when a small church stood in woods outside Milan's medieval walls; tradition links it to Saint Ambrose, who prayed there, and to Saint Martin. The first renovation came in 1377, another around 1500. In 1635 the ceiling collapsed and rebuilding reshaped the priest's floor, choir and side walls to allow larger windows. The friars' order was suppressed in 1644 and the house given to the Franciscans.

Locals call it Sant Ambroeus Andem, and the site gave rise to a religious order of friars, suppressed in 1644 and handed to the Franciscans. The name ad Nemus means "in the woods", the forest outside Milan's medieval walls where Ambrose came to pray.

The site is recognized as a national heritage location and is open to visitors interested in religious architecture. Plan time to carefully observe the frescoes and the building's structural details.

The name ad Nemus means "in the woods": the church began as a small chapel among forests outside Milan's medieval walls. Tradition holds that Saint Ambrose came here to pray, and that Saint Martin hid here after being driven from Milan under the Arian bishop Auxentius. The present building is a 1635 reconstruction.
