After having given a look to the high archways, frescoed by Carlo Urbini to end of ‘500, of obligation it’s to go down in the underground where the stones of the most grandiose Roman monument in the city “the Amphitheater” are concealed.
Absolutely to visit it is the St. Aquiline’s mausoleum where precious mosaics of the IV century are present and they are the most ancient of Milan.
The Columns of St. Lawrence in front of the basilica are antecedent and were put on the place during the basilica construction.
