St. Ambrose built Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio from 379 to 386 CE, making it one of the most ancient churches in the city. However, the majority of what you see today is from 12th-century restorations, hence its Romanesque style. Admire the mosaics in the apse, one of which depicts the life of St. Ambrose, Milan's patron saint. Look for the many faded frescoes in various nooks and crannies of the church. Visit the crypt under the high altar. It contains the remains of three saints: Ambrose, Gervasus, and Protasus.

This is a bit out of the way and less spectacular than the Duomo (obviously). But as a historical landmark I found it well worth a visit. I do believe more could be made of this site.

It was okay but getting there and back was a hassle. Taxis and Uber have trouble finding it. I would spend my time at other places.

Nice place to see great architecture and a Great source of local history. Make sure to set an appointment online if you wish the guided tours in a different languages than Italian. Having a walk in the arounds is also a great idea because the beautiful streets are very vintage.
