Columns of San Lorenzo
Sixteen Roman Columns 8.5 metres high, dating back to imperial times, stand opposite the basilica. They come from a 2nd to 3rd century Roman temple and were brought here and rearranged in the 5th century as a part of a former four-sided atrium. These columns are very close to the Medieval doors of Porta Ticinese where Corso di Porta Ticinese meets with the roundabout road in the Navigli (Canals) area.
