About the place

Centuries of pilgrimage shape the daily rhythm around Basilicas Park.

The Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio stands inside Basilicas Park as an enduring landmark from medieval travel networks. Travelers bound for Rome or heading onward to the Holy Land routed their journeys through this sanctuary. Tradition held that the building sheltered the tomb of the Magi, drawing steady waves of believers and establishing the site as a focal point long before modern municipal boundaries formed around it.
