Santa Maria di Caravaggio Church, Minor basilica and parish church in Porta Ticinese district, Milan, Italy
Santa Maria di Caravaggio is a church featuring Romanesque Revival architecture located in the Porta Ticinese district of Milan. The building has a Latin cross layout with a single nave and measures 93 by 33 meters in its overall dimensions.
The building emerged after a wooden chapel from 1902, with architect Cecilio Arpesani constructing the permanent structure between 1906 and 1911. The bell tower was added later and shaped the church's appearance until today.
The church is dedicated to the Caravaggio sanctuary and displays its connection to Mary's veneration through artwork in the interior spaces. Visitors can see a form of local religious devotion that remains alive in this area today.
The interior is straightforward to explore due to its single nave with a clear layout that allows easy orientation. Visitors should take time to discover different areas such as the crypt with its mosaics.
The church received the status of minor basilica from Pope John Paul II in 1979, an honor that sealed its religious importance in the city. This recognition made it a significant place for worshippers in Milan.
