Basilica di Sant'Eustorgio through winter trees
7877

Milano (Milan)

The stone tomb of the Magi is tucked in a corner of this church
which was founded by Saint Eustorgio in the 4th Century to house
relics of the Magi. The relics were taken to Cologne by Frederic
Barbarossa in 1164 but some were returned in 1903 and Milan
celebrates the event at Ephiphany here each year.
