San Gottardo al Corso Church, Roman Catholic church in Milan, Italy.

The San Gottardo al Corso Church features an octagonal bell tower constructed with pink terracotta and white marble corner columns reaching toward the sky.

The church was constructed between 1330 and 1336 as a Ducal Chapel by Azzone Visconti, initially dedicated to the Virgin Mary before changing to Saint Gotthard.

The interior displays a Giottesque Crucifixion fresco and a notable canvas of Saint Charles Borromeo created by artist Giovan Battista Crespi.

The church entrance was relocated to the southern side during renovations of the Royal Palace in the late 1700s under architect Giuseppe Piermarini's direction.

The bell tower housed Milan's first public clock, which marked 24 hours with bell strikes starting from the first hour after sunset.
