Imperial Mausoleum of San Vittore al Corpo

Under your feet

Descripcion foto: The Imperial Mausoleum of San Vittore al Corpo was a circular funerary monument in the Roman city of Mediolanum (modern Milan). Built towards the end of the 4th century, in the era in which Mediolanum was the capital of the Western Roman Empire (a role it held from 286 AD to 402 AD), it probably welcomed the tombs of the house of Emperor Valentinian. According to the medieval episcopal lists (10th-11th century), the bodies of the first Milanese bishops Mirocles (313-314) and Protasio (343-344) were also placed inside the Imperial Mausoleum. Transformed into the chapel of San Gregorio between the 9th and 10th centuries and annexed to the church of San Vittore al Corpo, the mausoleum was demolished in the 16th century on the occasion of the late 16th-century reconstruction of the aforementioned Christian church.
