Chiesa di Santa Maria della Passione

The Waldensian temple in Milan was built between 1949 and 1952 to replace the old Waldensian temple of 1881, demolished in the first years after the Second World War to allow the opening of via Alberto Albicci. On the outside, the building is characterized by its facade, which comes from the church of San Giovanni in Conca (the 19th century Waldensian temple). The facade, dating back to the twelfth century, was restored to its original form with a neo-Romanesque restoration in 1879. The interior of the church is in modern style.

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.

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.
