Immerse yourselvesin the beauty of the Catholic basilicas today. First up is a visit toS.Ambrogio, one of the most ancient churches in Milan and dating back to 379AD. It was built on the burial site of numerous martyrs of the Romanpersecutions and indeed, was originally known as the Basilica Martyrum. Astroll along the Navigli will bring you to the Darsena, the old port of Milan,with its network of canals. Next stop is S.Eustorgio, an important port of callon the pilgrim route to Rome or the Holy Land, because it was the site of thetomb of the Three Magi or Three Kings.
