The Church of San Cristoforo sul Naviglio is one of Milan's most evocative and historic corners. Located directly on the alzaia of the Naviglio Grande, it is famous for being a rare "double church" formed by two small religious buildings side-by-side, unified in the 17th century. The Left Church (Romanesque): It is the oldest structure, rebuilt in 1192 on a previous chapel and remodeled in the 14th century. It served as a stopping point and protection for pilgrims and travelers entering Milan by water. The Right Church (Ducal Chapel): It was erected at the end of the 14th century at the behest of Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti as an ex voto for the end of a violent plague epidemic. On the facade, the Visconti coats of arms with the famous biscione can be seen. In 1625, the two interiors were joined by demolishing the dividing wall and opening two large arches. The fifteenth-century bell tower is historically nicknamed "the Meneghino lighthouse".

San Cristoforo is a charming complex consisting of two small churches side by side. Ancient accounts attest to the Milanese people’s affection for this church, which was originally a simple chapel covered by a gabled roof. It even seems that it was in this very little church, in 1176, that the Milanese received the first news of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa’s defeat at Legnano by the Lombard League. The church (which must have corresponded roughly to the current left aisle) was rebuilt in 1192 and extensively remodeled in the 14th century. https://www.chiesasancristoforo.it/proposta-culturale/storia/
