Sant'Ambrogio Basilica, the Columns of San Lorenzo & the Ticinese Quarter

The Ticinese quarter of southwestern Milan — the area between the Navigli canals and the Duomo, centered on the ancient pilgrimage road (now the Corso di Porta Ticinese) — contains the two most important early Christian and Romanesque monuments in Milan: the Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio (the 4th-century foundation of Milan's patron saint, one of the oldest churches in Christendom) and the Columns of San Lorenzo (the only surviving Roman monument in Milan above ground).
