Monumental Churches of Milan
Hello everybody, I open this thread to show the many monumental churches here in Milan. For monumental churches I means temples built prior XX century or (there will be only few examples) post 1900 but built by great architects. This collection will have 114 churches shown here, selected by me within the more than 300 churches present in the city.

Sanctuary of Santa Maria alla Fontana, built in the renaissance (according to someone, the project would be coming from Leonardo da Vinci's pencil!)

Thanks for the appreciation!
  I wanted to open this thread because to me this city is just interested in having "fashon & shopping + design" kind of tourism, while there could also another kind of tourism, less "consumerist" and more interested in artsy things Some more churchey coming right up! San Sebastiano, a civil temple built by architect Pellegrino Tibaldi       And a 360° visit! http://milan.arounder.com/it/city-to...ebastiano.html Last edited by tommolo; March 18th, 2012 at 02:15 PM. |

The amount of churches in Milan is simply mind blowing. I remember walking there for a day, only in the center for a bit of a cultural tour and I think we visited at least 20 churches, all well-kept and open. Very special.

Another ancient church, this one was founded on Christmas day in 740 a.D., and was then trasformed in a baroque church by Francesco Maria Richini in the XVII century
     And now the masterpiece of this church, the Passion Chapel, from the renaissance master artist Bernardino Luini

San Paolo Converso church, structurally, this church is very similar to San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore. Like its twin, this church also is completely covered by frescoes, but this time from Giulio and Antonio Campi. The architecture is by "il Cerano" and Galeazzo Alessi, in pure mannerist style.
 this church is settled beside the Sant'Eufemia basilica    the completely frescoed vault
