Founded in the 4th century, rebuilt sometime later in Romanesque style, this church was a highly important pilgrimage stop as it was suspected to contain the relics of the Three Magi. These were reportedly removed to Cologne in the 12th century, and only recently have fragments of the relics been returned. Coins of the son of Contantine the Great were found in an excavation at the church. Check out the 14th and 15th century chapels, and the high altar from the 15th century. There are some beautiful Renaissance frescoes in the Portinari Chapel, which also contains tomb of Saint Peter of Verona, one of the finest tombs in the country.. Apparently the church used to be headquarters of Milan's Inquisition.
