The Columns of San Lorenzo are a set of 16 Corinthian columns that stand outside the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore in Milan.
It is unknown with any certainty when the columns were first built but it is speculated that they date back to the second century AD. They were moved to their present location in the fourth century, having likely been moved from a pagan temple nearby. |
