San Babila is a Romanesque-style Roman Catholic church in Milan, region of Lombardy, Italy.
[citation needed] Previous to 1927, the church had a Mannerist facade with pilasters and a protruding portal with columns and a roofline surmounted by spherical pinnacles with palm-leaves above.
[citation needed] Inside the basilica there is a Zanin pipe organ (2008), completely made with a mechanical transmission system.
The Column of the Lion (Colonna del Leone) in front of the main facade of the church, has a murky history.
Inscriptions on the structure recall it derives from spoils of a Milanese victory against the Venetians, suggesting the damaged sculpture dates to the era of the Visconti rule.
