Chiesa Parrocchiale di San Marco di Milano

The church was dedicated to San Marco in recognition of the help Venice gave to Milan in the fight against Barbarossa, but the first certain news dates back to 1254 when Lanfranco Settala, general prior of the Hermits of St. Augustine, had a Romanesque church built, perhaps incorporating previous buildings. In the oldest documents, the church and the convent are indicated as being located in suburbis (on the outskirts) of the city.
