Santa Maria delle Grazie is a stunning Renaissance church and Dominican convent in Milan, best known as the home of Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper'. The church itself is a masterpiece, with a beautiful brick facade and a serene cloister. The interior features a harmonious blend of Gothic and Renaissance elements, including a magnificent dome designed by Bramante. The refectory, where 'The Last Supper' is painted, is part of the convent complex. Visitors often combine a visit to the church with the mural, but the church alone is worth exploring for its art and architecture. The tranquil atmosphere offers a respite from the city's bustle. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, it represents a pinnacle of Renaissance culture.

Don't miss

  • Bramante's dome and the apse with its Renaissance details
  • The serene cloisters of the convent
  • The refectory (for 'The Last Supper' ticket holders)
