Monastero di San Vittore al Corpo, 16th-century monastery in central Milan, Italy.

The monastery complex includes a basilica with frescoed dome, wooden choir, and multiple chapels decorated with Renaissance and Baroque artworks.

The site originated as a Roman imperial mausoleum in the 4th century before becoming a Benedictine monastery and later an Olivetan religious center.

The monastery halls contain numerous art pieces, including canvases by Camillo Procaccini and Daniele Crespi depicting religious narratives and saints.

The monastery building now houses the National Museum of Science and Technology, which displays educational exhibits about scientific and technological progress.

Archaeological excavations between 1950 and 1977 revealed remains of an imperial mausoleum beneath the church structure.
