S. Ambrogio - Zeta International Milan Guide, Italy

Zeta International Milan Guide: S. AMBROGIO
	Built by Saint Ambrose, the Patron Saint of Milan and dedicated to the Martyrs whose bones rest beneath its alter, the original Basilica dates back to the fourth century. In true Milanese style, the church was added on to and modified by following generations. In the 9th century, an elaborate alter of gold and silver leaf, studded with jewels and enamel, is a tribute to the master goldsmith Volvinio. The bell tower on the south was constructed in the 9th century, and the north tower added in the 12th century.
