Visit Chiesa di Santa Maria alla Fontana for a still, sacred pause away from the crowds. Look up at the frescoed ceiling and listen to the spring water running below.

📖

Full description

Chiesa di Santa Maria alla Fontana was built by a natural spring, and the water remains part of the experience: visitors describe the sound of it running down as peaceful, and one named it their favourite church in Milan. The ceiling is frescoed, and the atmosphere is quiet, with few other people around.

Staff are described as kind, in one case reopening the fountain for a late visitor. It suits slow, reflective visits, and about 15 minutes covers the church and the spring.
