120 steps, the breathtaking view between the bells, the legend of the Brides’ Church… After more than a century, a truly enchanted place reopens, the legendary Campanile dei Sospiri near San Celso, a must-see stop on a guided tour of Milan!
Why it is called that, we cannot reveal now, and to tell you about it, we take you not only to admire the city at a height of 35 meters, but also to the beautiful Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli near San Celso, the church of “newly promised loves.”

Corso Italia 37, in front of the Church of San Celso
We are at 37 Corso Italia, here stands the imposing Renaissance facade of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, for many here in Milan the Church of the Spouses. Visible only through a gate overlooking Corso Italia, the Church of San Celso with its marvelous Campanile dei Sospiri (Bell Tower of Sighs ) remained for years only a small neo-Romanesque facade beyond a garden. Finally reopened to the public, together with its bell tower, it undoubtedly deserves a guided tour! At the back of the church a small door attracts the gaze of the most attentive visitors: this is the key to having Milan at our feet, it is the Campanile dei Sospiri! One by one we climb the small and countless steps of the bell tower to reach the top and enjoy a breathtaking view even at night. You can almost touch the dome of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria with your finger and then admire the Duomo with its Terraces and Madonnina, the Velasca Tower and even the Unicredit Tower!
Back ashore we will also discover the Romanesque church dedicated to St. Celsus. We will find a bare but decidedly fascinating setting: tall columns topped by beautiful Romanesque capitals act as our guides into a world full of symbols and meanings now little known. Lions and deer, dense foliage, and human figures look down on us from up there and allow themselves to be admired in their beauty. The bare stone altar features the ancient small window that once allowed us to see the relics of Saints, Nazarus and Celsus, young martyrs who died during Nero’s empire. But if you love the Renaissance, just a few steps away from San Celso the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dei Miracoli opens to you with all its treasures: works of art from Lombardy five and seventeenth centuries, and the marvelous facade, a magical synthesis of architecture and sculpture. A precious place for a guided tour that allows you to rediscover the beauty of the city of Milan.
