Milan - San Lorenzo Maggiore

Southeast of Sant'Ambrogio, in the Corso di Porta Ticines in Milan, San Lorenzo, a fine building on a centralized plan, dates from the Early Christian period; it has a Renaissance dome (1574) and the chapel of St Aquilinus (fourth century mosaics). In front of the church a portico of sixteen Corinthian columns, the largest surviving monument of Roman Mediolanum, has been re-erected.
