Basilica Santa Maria Nuova

The minor basilica of Santa Maria Nuova in Abbiategrasso is tied to the history of the Visconti family and has been the religious centre of Abbiategrasso since the 14th century. Since its restoration in 1990 the basilica appears once again in its former splendour. Outside, besides the enchanting Renaissance four-sided portico, note the great arch of the pronaos (by Bramante), while inside the raised central nave with large cross vaults and the frescoes stand out.
