Chiesa di San Paolo Converso

The church of San Paolo Converso was built as the church of the nearby convent of the Congregazione delle Angeliche. The first stone of the building was laid in 1549 and its construction continued until 1580. In 1808, following the suppression of the convents in the Napoleonic era, the monastery was cleared and the church deconsecrated. Since 2016, it has also housed Converso, an exhibition space dedicated to contemporary arts, also founded by Locatelli Partners.

Basilica di Sant'Eufemia

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.
