Santa Maria alla Scala, Milan
Santa Maria alla Scala was a church built in the gothic style in Milan in 1381 and named in honour of Beatrice Regina della Scala, the wife of Bernabò Visconti who commissioned the building. The church was demolished in 1776 to make way for a new theatre which became known as Teatro alla Scala.
