Lovely place to be, just a stone throw away from the city 's heart. More enjoyable on week days though.

This world-famous Roman ruin is a definite must-see when you're in Milan. Located just in front of the San Lorenzo Basilica, this place has 16 columns that date back to the 3rd century.

Marco Papale

Columns of San Lorenzo , which were probably once part of a temple or civic bathhouse, stand ten metres (33 feet) high on corso di Porta Ticinese. They bring the splendour of Roman rule to life.
