The Sant’Eustorgio Basilica is located on one of the most important roads of the city of Milan. Following an ancient tradition, which is still popular to date, the procession taking each new bishop of Milan into the city leaves from here.
The left corner of the gabled façade hosts a marble pulpit, sculpted to replace the original one, from which – according to local lore – Saint Peter Martyr used to preach. Also, on the inside you can see many frescos on the columns, as well as paleocristian ruins, eleven chapels and three aisles.
The 73-metre-high bell tower, built between 1297 and 1309, is the tallest of the city and bears a star, the symbol of the Three Wise Men, on its pinnacle.
