Colonne di San Lorenzo *

Ticinese district |

Sant'Ambrogio

Corso Porta Ticinese

The sixteen columns of the 2nd century AD still standing in front of the basilica of San Lorenzo are the most important Roman remains in Milan.

They were part of a temple (or perhaps even a public baths complex), and were transported here in the 4th century AD to form the front side of a four-sided portico.
