Basilica di San Nazaro in Brolo

The church of Sant'Antonio Abate was built in the 13th century on the site of a 4th-century temple. The present church, however, is a reconstruction from the Mannerist period (1582). The church has a beautiful 15th-century bell tower, restored by Luca Beltrami, and a terracotta cloister, dating from the early 16th century. In 1577 it was entrusted to the Theatines. The Theatines fitted out the cloisters and commissioned Dionigi Campazzo, one of the architects of the Ca' Granda, to rebuild the church in the Counter-Reformation style. A second decorative campaign began in the third decade of the 17th century.

The Basilica of Sant'Eufemia was probably founded around 472 by the bishop Saint Senator. The church was then rebuilt in the 15th century and remodelled in the following centuries thanks to the intervention of important patrons. Federigo Borromeo, the nephew of Charles Borromeo and future archbishop of Milan, was baptised here in 1564. In 1870, the architect Enrico Terzaghi created the present high central hall by eliminating three bays. The church was also enlarged by one bay and the façade was rebuilt.

In 1268, a small church was built. Before that, there was only a graveyard and a room were exhumed bones were gathered. In 1642, the bell tower of the Basilica di Santo Stefano collapsed and demolished the church and the ossuary. It was immediately rebuilt and has remained the same until today. The bones that are displayed in the ossuary are from local poor people. Most of them died of natural causes in the old Brolo hospital, but there are also skulls of people who died by violence or criminals who were beheaded.
