The main altar of the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan
The main altar of the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan.
The splendid basilica of Milan, famous for its façade and cloister, is also very beautiful inside.
Behind it is the apse in golden mosaics and in the middle, protected by the ciborium, the splendid altar covered in gold and silver positioned right above the relics of Saints Gervasio and Protasio and of Ambrose himself.
