It is one of the oldest libraries in Europe and is home to some of the most famous documents of the European continent, such as the manuscripts of the Benedictine monastery of Bobbio.

Church of Santa Maria Presso San Satyr

Next to the Milan Cathedral, we will visit the Church of Santa Maria presso San Satyr. In this construction different architectural models are mixed, since they are two enclosures that were joined to venerate the Virgin Mary and St. Satyr, who was the brother of St. Ambrose. 

In its halls the Renaissance style predominates, although certain Gothic touches can be admired in its façade. In addition, inside is one of the symbolic works of Milan: “The false choir”, which was made by the artist Donato Bramante.
