The Basilica of Sant’Eustorgio is one of the most historically tied churches in Milan. The church was probably founded in the 4th century by Bishop Eustorgio I to house the relics of the Magi, and was rebuilt in a Romanesque style and then became the main Milanese seat of the Dominican Order in the 13th century. The church and the chapel have been decorated by famous artists and the Portinari Chapel is one of the most celebrated examples of Renaissance art in Lombardy. It has frescoes which show the life of Saint Peter of Verona and houses his Ark (tomb), which is replete with marble bass-relief images by the sculptor, Giovanni di Balduccio. Just a few steps away you will find the Darsena (dock) and the Navigli (canals) which make up the old port of Milan. You will see the ex “furmagiatt” cheese shop neighborhood with its typical houses with their patios that run along the Naviglio Pavese and the Naviglio Grande where the washerwomen would meet.
