Basilica of St Ambrose wheelchair accessible tours

Noted for its medieval architecture, the Basilica of St. Ambrose in Milan was consecrated by St Ambrose in 387 AD.

Rebuilt in the 11th century, it became the model for all Lombard Romanesque churches.

A building rich in history and spirituality, with the Duomo of Milan, is the focal point of Milan’s religious life.

The church was built on a grand scale over an existing cemetery, next to the martyrium of St Victor.

Two local martyrs provided the necessary relics for the altar, and Ambrose was buried next to them after his death on April 4, 397.

The basilica was rebuilt in the Romanesque style in the 11th century and this is the building that survives today.
