Sixteen ancient Roman Corinthian columns (each about 7.5 meters tall) stand in an open piazza in front of the Basilica of San Lorenzo, likely relocated from a 2nd–3rd century temple in the 4th century. Sit in the shade, grab coffee or a snack from nearby cafés, and soak in the lively but relaxed atmosphere where locals gather to chat and unwind. The surrounding Corso di Porta Ticinese has small shops, leather stores, and secondhand boutiques worth browsing.
