The first Cathedral, the “new Basilica” (Basilica Nova), Dedicated to Saint Thecla, was completed by 355 A.D. It seems to share, on a smaller scale, the Plan of the contemporaneous Church recently re-discovered beneath Tower Hill in London. An adjoining Basilica was erected in 836 A,D.

The old Octagonal Baptistery, the Battistero Paleocristiano, dates to 335 A.D., and can be visited under Milan Cathedral. When a fire damaged the Cathedral and Basilica in 1075, they were rebuilt as the Duomo.
