Nestled in the heart of Milan, the Basilica di Santa Maria delle Grazie is a treasure trove of Renaissance art and architecture. This iconic site is renowned globally for housing Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, “The Last Supper.” Added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1980, the basilica offers a unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles, making it a must-visit for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This guide provides all the essential information you need to plan your visit, including tips for tourists, things to see, and practical details.

Things to See

The Last Supper

“The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci is the star attraction of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Located in the refectory, this mural depicts the poignant moment of Jesus announcing that one of his disciples will betray him. The painting’s mastery of perspective and emotional depth makes it a highlight of Renaissance art. Viewing time is limited to 15 minutes per group to protect the artwork, so savor each moment.

Planning Your Visit

Booking in Advance

To see Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” it is crucial to book tickets several weeks, or even months, in advance.

  • Metro: Line 1 (Red Line) to Conciliazione or Line 2 (Green Line) to Cadorna, both a short walk from the church.
