This basilica also dates back to the 4th century, but its early Christian origins are hardly visible: it has in fact undergone many transformations over the centuries, including the construction of a dome which is the largest in Milan. Inside, the Chapel of Sant’Aquilino stands out for its splendid mosaics, as well as a copy of Leonardo's Last Supper.
