The Basilica and tomb of St. Ambrose

A tidbit of Catholic Ancient History: 

Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio is one of the oldest churches in Milan, built by San Ambrogio in 379-386. The first name of the church was Basilica Martyrum, because it was built in an area Where numerous martyrs of the Roman persecutions had been buried.
The current appearance was assumed in the 12th century when church was rebuilt in the Romanesque style. In this Basilica is the tomb of St. Ambrose.
