What people say

Wiktoria Górska-Kijanka
"The columns of San Lorenzo are sixteen in number, each about 7.5 meters tall and crafted from Musso marble, with Corinthian capitals supporting the entablature. Upon closer inspection, there are actually 17 columns: a miniature column with a cross sits atop the central arch, distinguishing the eight columns on each side. These columns originate from Roman buildings of the 2nd or 3rd century, likely from a pagan temple once located in what is now Piazza Santa Maria Beltrade."

"Unlike Rome, in Milan you can only find a few remains of the Roman Empire nowadays. The Colonne di San Lorenzo are one of them. It is a group of ancient Roman ruins, located in front of the Basilica of San Lorenzo. You will pass by on your way from the Duomo to Navigli. "
