    The columns of San Lorenzo, as well as a historical relic of imperial Milan, are the symbol of Milanese nightlife. The columns are placed right in front of the Basilica of San Lorenzo and are located just after the Porta Ticinese.
    Here the Emperor Constantine, in 313, promulgated the edict which allowed the free practice of all cults including the Christian one. The columns of San Lorenzo are sixteen in total, made of marble, and are surmounted by imposing Corinthian capitals.
