The current church, dedicated to Sant'Ambrogio, was begun by Francesco II Sforza in 1534 based on a design by Antonio da Lonate, after having largely demolished the previous one, of which the choir, which dates back to 1465. Once the munificence of Duke Francis II ceased, it could be fulfilled with the alms of the faithful, the Municipality and the Bishops. The roof was completed in 1553 and it was only completed in 1606. The result was a grandiose Latin cross temple in Classical-Renaissance style. In 1612 the church and the main altar were consecrated, which will be replaced in 1828.

In 1680 Caramuel inaugurated the new face of the Cathedral, which he himself designed.

In 1716, Caramuel completed the imposing dome, with a copper roof.

The Capitolare sacristy was furnished in 1753.

Other significant restorations were carried out in the 19th century: in 1828/31 the main altar was replaced and the floors of the naves and chapels were redone.

In the years 1857/58 most of the decorations and paintings were carried out. Also worth mentioning is a subsequent restoration, commissioned by Locatelli, of the roof, of the internal pictorial and decorative cycles in the years 1991/97 and of the face in the years 1997/99.
