During the works, frescoes appeared on the walls. Detached and transferred to canvas, they were moved to the Sforza Castle Museum. Eventually, the demolition was stopped, making it possible to save the last portion of the apse and the crypt below. The statue in the niche at the top of the façade was also moved to the Sforza Castle Museum. The figure represents Saint John the Evangelist at the supposed ordeal. The church's name would have derived from the cauldron (Conca) where the saint would have entered. The façade was removed and reassembled in the new Waldensian church in Milan, located in Via Francesco Sforza. The street adjacent to the church was named Via San Giovanni in Conca after the old church. Today The underground crypt, which survived the demolition, can be visited in Piazza Missori under the vestige of the apse The façade is visible from Via Francesco Sforza in the newly built Waldesian church. The Sforza Castle Museum houses the funerary monuments of Bernabò Visconti and his wife Regina Della Scala, the statue of Saint John the Evangelist, and frescos discovered in the church during its demolition. The tombs with the remains of Bernabò Visconti and Regina Della Scala are in the nearby church of Sant'Alessandro near the entrance.
