Fino a qualche anno addietro, sulla piazza c'era la fiera degli oh bej oh bej, (in dialetto milanese vuol dire oh belli, oh belli) nei giorni precedenti la festa patronale di Milano, ma poi la fiera l'hanno trasferita sulla Piazza Castello in quanto è talmente elevato il numero di richieste per prendervi parte da parte dei commercianti ambulanti e quindi occorreva uno spazio più ampio. Assolutamente da visitare se volete ammirare un gioiello di Milano che non può assolutamente mancare nelle visite turistiche.
Sono rimasta perplessa per la silenziosità del luogo pur essendo in pieno centro.
Uscendo dalla porta laterale si può vedere il giardino con altre costruzioni raccolte in un unico complesso recintato.
Ingresso libero.
The church is preceded by a large quadriportico, overlooked by the gabled façade, with two levels of arches, and the two bell towers, that of the Monks and that of the Canons. Under the portico is the treasure of Sant'Ambrogio, which includes goldsmith's objects, fabrics, tapestries, marble, stucco, mosaics, wooden fragments and paintings. Pause in front of the so-called " Devil's Column ", which owes its name to the legend according to which the devil, fighting with Saint Ambrose, stuck his horns right into the column, on which two side-by-side holes are still visible today.
Inside the church, along the left nave, in the first chapel there is a valuable fresco by Bergognone, the risen Christ and angels. In the lower apse, however, you can admire the crypt in which the bodies of saints Ambrose, Gervasio and Protasio are preserved.
The basilica is accessible to disabled people and often hosts groups and schools, as long as the visits are conducted by private guides. Inside the architectural complex you will also find a small museum and a bookshop.
Sotto l'altare di Sant'Ambrogio si trovano i corpi dei santi Ambrogio, Gervasiua e Protasio
L'atrium est reposant, et la basilique est imposante. Le calme aide à la relaxation.
La visite est intéressante, il ne faut pas sous estimer cet édifice finalement peu visité
