Walking through the central streets of Milan can also happen to come across a crypt of the fifth century AD: the crypt of San Giovanni in Conca.
The crypt of San Giovanni in Conca is located in Piazza Missori in Milan.
In those passing by Piazza Missori they have noticed the particular ancient walls (not to mention the ruins) .In fact it is part of the apse (from the Latin arc or time) of a church.
The apse is an architectural structure with a semicircular or polygonal shape, covered by a vault, said concave or apse, which usually has the shape of a half dome.
So in the past in Piazza Missori there was a Christian church of which now remains only the apse and the crypt.
And it is the crypt that I wanted to tell you about in this article.
The crypt of San Giovanni in Conca hides showing.
The entrance to the crypt is in fact just around the apse, hidden not so if we want to, just that it is not known of the existence of the stairs we do not even realize.
I have discovered the existence of this crypt through google :)
I was looking for information on crypts, the catacombs and in general on what lies beneath the city, which I am sprout between the results just a crypt in downtown Milan: o
However, the crypt is tiny, tiny but very suggestive.
It is also guarded by a talented volunteer who tells you the whole story behind the crypt and of course the church that contained it, and wishing you well know also tell much more about the history of Milan.
If you are fond of ancient architecture, art history, crypts, or culture in general, do not miss a visit to this crypt, partly because it's free: p
