Brera
Brera is considered the “artistic” area of Milan and clusters around the Academia di Brera.
Construction of the basilica began in 379 and in 387 it was consecrated by S. Ambrogio, saint patron of Milan.
The history of Milan is closely connected with the system of canals that pass through the whole city. The area characterized by the Navigli is certainly one of the most picturesque of Milan.
Colonne di San Lorenzo is an ancient Roman relic in Milan, located in front of San Lorenzo Church near the medieval Porta Ticinese. They represent one of the few surviving relics of the imperial Milan.
