Just around the corner walking distance from the Duomo.
I stumbled upon this lovely church whilst walking down the major shopping street of Milan. It seemed closed as there were only people sitting on the steps but no one going in or out. Walking in you are greeted with the sheer size, on par with many of the churches we saw in Rome.
There are fantastic fescos and timberwork and it is the only church we've seen that incorporates ancient and modern artworks.
You can pay the extra €2 to take the guided tour through the church. I didn't catch our guides name but she spoke great English and was very knowledgeable about the church and the history. Be aware the tours stop running at 6pm. San Fedele is a Jesuit church in Milan. It is entitled to St. Fidelis of Como, patron of the Catholic diocese of Como. A church in close distance of the Duomo and the gallery. Very spacious and with typical decorations. It is an ideal place to find some peace after visiting all the tourist attractions and to take some time for yourself. Open daily at max until 18:00, but usually until 16:30
