Seminario Arcivescovile

Jesuit college

Commissioned by Carlo Borromeo in 1564, construction of the Seminary was begun by Seregni and Pellegrini in the 16th century, and was finished by Aurelio Trezzi and Fabio Mangone, under the direction of Cardinal Federico Borromeo in the early years of the 17th century. The austere, disciplined style, based on rigorously classical canons, represents the architectural expression of the rulings of the Council of Trent. The façade, of which just the highly theatrical portal remains, was built to a design by Francesco Maria Richini in 1635.
