Basilica di San Calimero

Basilica di San Calimero

The Basilica di San Calimero is a church in Milan, northern Italy. Its name refers to Saint Calimerius (d. 190 AD), an early bishop of the city. It dates from the fifth century but was almost completely rebuilt in 1882 by the architect Angelo Colla in an attempt to restore it to the "original" medieval structure. What remains of the ancient church include: the 16th century crypt, with a noble frescoed vault by the Fiammenghini; a small fresco with the "Madonna and Two Female Saints" (15th century, attributed to Cristoforo Moretti) in the apse; a "Crucifixion" by Cerano, and a noteworthy "Nativity" by Marco d'Oggiono. Other medieval frescoes are in the annexed sacristy.

The crypt houses also Calimerius' relics and a pitt located in the same place in which the former's bones were found in the water
