The Basilica of Sant' Ambrogio represents to the Milanese what Mecca represents to the Muslims. Sixteen centuries old, Sant' Ambrogio represents the history of Milan. Originally founded in 379 by Saint Ambrose, Milan's first bishop and the city's patron saint, the basilica was enlarged in the 11th century, becoming the finest medieval building in Milan. The Museo della Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio contains ancient pieces such as a remarkable 9th-century altar in precious metals and enamels, in addition to paintings, sculptures, and a couple of Flemish tapestries.
