'''Basilica di Sant'Eufemia ''' is a church in [[Milan]], [[Italy]]. It was established in 472.
==History==
The church was built in 472 by [[Senator (bishop of Milan)|Bishop Senatore]] to house the relics of the martyr [[Euphemia]].<ref>Ruggeri, Fausto. I Vescovi di Milano. Milano: NED. (1991) p. 16. {{ISBN| 88-7023-154-2}}(in Italian)</ref> The bishop is buried in the church.
Sant'Eufemia was subsequently the subject of various alterations funded by generous patrons. The church was then rebuilt in the 15th century.<ref>[https://religiana.com/basilica-di-santeufemia-milan "Basilica di Sant'Eufemia", Religiana]</ref> Canon [[Pietro Casola]] describes a [[Rogation days|rogation day]] procession that left from the [[Santa Tecla, Milan|Cathedral of Santa Tecla]] to Sant'Eufemia and other churches before returning to the cathedral.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=ULOFAAAAMAAJ&dq=Basilica+of+Sant%27Eufemia%2C+Milan&pg=PA349 Casola, Pietro.

The church underwent renovation in 1870 by architect Enrico Terzaghi, who designed a neo-romanesque facade of terracotta and Vicenza stone. The rose window above the entrance is surrounded by bas-reliefs with symbols of the four evangelists.
The interior is neo-Gothic; both the walls and vaults are richly decorated with frescoes.
The ''Madonna and Child'' is by [[Marco d'Oggiono]]. [[Simone Peterzano]]'s ''Pentecost'' was originally painted for [[San Paolo Converso]].
