Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo in Ventimiglia, Italy
The Church of San Michele Arcangelo was erected in the 10th century by the Counts of Ventimiglia on the foundations of a pagan temple. Later it was entrusted to the Benedictines of Lirins. In the 11th-12th centuries it was rebuilt in Romanesque style. In 1628 its aisles were lost after an earthquake. It houses milestones from the old Via Iulia Augusta, two of which are used as stoups and one supports the crypt’s vault.
