Santa Maria delle Grazie

All normal tickets were sold out and have to pay about 80euro for a guided tour but it's worth every cent.
Though heavily (unskillfully I dare say) restored, Last Supper is the only mural/painting/artwork during this one-month Italy trip that gave me goose bump.

Just one word : wahou ! It s really beautiful and you get this atmosphere of sacred and peace. Amazing. Could have spent hours here. And the architect of the church is breathtaking. Unfortunately could not go to see the last supper as you have to book months in advance. But the church itself totally worth it !

It’s impressive to say the least to see it in person. Maybe more impressive than the Mona Lisa due to size and colours used by da Vinci. Must Book in advance to get tickets. Free lockers to store ya bags/drinks etc before entrance and bags will be searched prior to entry.

The Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie is known mainly for the painting by Leonardo da Vinci "The Last Supper". However, the temple of Santa Maria delle Grazie is also worth visiting for it's beautiful appearance.
Due to it's values the church was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

It is worth a visit even if you are not planning to go to see The Last Supper. Gorgeous basilica with a stunning dome attributed to Bramante, the 1st architect of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. Its geometry is a fiest for eyes and mind. From inside especially.

Looking back, I’m extremely pleased that I made this place a priority, despite my busy schedule and limited budget.
As the entrance tickets were already sold out, I booked a guided tour, which may appear a bit costly, instead.
Luckily, the tour turned out to be worth every penny.

Highly recommend it!

Astonishing, incredible restoration work was done to reveal a remarkable scene of Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci. Observation time limited by 15 minutes. Must be seen in a lifetime. Reservation of tickets has to be done in advance on website.

very impressive to see a piece of art of the last supper in this place

you will amaze with leonardo da vinchi painting

outside the building also have a wonderful view

The place of my dreams since I was 10. And I love it.

You don't need to buy any tickets to visit this beautiful Church.
But if you want to see The Fresca, book your tickets 2-3 months before visit.

Home to the masterpiece ‘The last supper’. The church has interesting exterior design and the refractory where the fresco is practically empty.

It’s definitely worth visiting and viewing it and having a guide makes a big difference. We booked the tickets online and the whole experience was satisfactory.

Once you step your feet there youll keep asking yourself and imagining a lot of scenarios for people who lived there and what they'd been through.
Loved itt

Of course la cena is a must see once in your life. You must book time tickets long in advance as only 15/20 people at a time per 15 mins. So you can enjoy being alone in the room as the group leaves.

Leonardo da vinci's The Last Supper is in the museum right next door. Visiting the chapel is free, the museum is paid.

The Last Supper painting on a church wall by DaVinci is definitely worth seeing in person as it's a priceless treasure. It's heavily booked out even in low season. Tour guides craftily snap up all the tickets in advance for month and you have to book with the ones that have them.
That being said I managed to get us tickets and it was well worth it. You need to go through security checkpoints and into a vacuum sealed room. They only allow a limited number of people at any given time. The room is kept at a certain temperature to minimize over-tourism.
The church was bombed in World War 2 but wall remained intact. So they restored the church around it again. Amazing luck or divine intervention?

During my visit to Italy in 2006, I had the privilege of experiencing the awe-inspiring Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. This UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for housing Leonardo da Vinci's iconic fresco, "The Last Supper," left an indelible mark on my journey through Italy. From the beauty of its architecture to the profound artistic treasure it held within, Santa Maria delle Grazie was a testament to human creativity and spirituality.

The exterior of Santa Maria delle Grazie captivated me with its harmonious blend of Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles. The elegant façade, adorned with delicate rose windows and ornate details, beckoned me to step inside. As I entered the church, a sense of tranquility washed over me. The dimly lit interior, adorned with beautiful frescoes and intricate decorations, created a sacred atmosphere that inspired reverence.

Of course, the highlight of my visit was experiencing Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper." Standing before this masterpiece, I was captivated by the artist's genius. The delicate brushstrokes, the subtle expressions on the faces of the disciples, and the masterful use of perspective all contributed to the ethereal quality of the painting. It was a humbling experience to witness this iconic work of art and to appreciate its profound historical and cultural significance.

The Santa Maria delle Grazie complex also offered serene cloisters and peaceful gardens, providing a tranquil oasis in the heart of the bustling city. It was a place of contemplation, where one could reflect on the spiritual and artistic treasures housed within its walls.

Visiting Santa Maria delle Grazie was an unforgettable journey into the depths of art, history, and spirituality. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of human creativity and the ability of art to transcend time. A visit to this remarkable site is a must for anyone seeking to appreciate the beauty of Milan and the masterpieces it houses.

My visit to Santa Maria delle Grazie was an enriching and soul-stirring experience. It deepened my appreciation for the artistic genius of Leonardo da Vinci and allowed me to connect with the profound spirituality that permeates the space. Santa Maria delle Grazie is a true gem—a place that deserves the highest accolades for preserving and showcasing one of the world's greatest artistic treasures.

I was very happy with my decision when in Milan to go here and see Leonardo’s ‘The Last Supper’. I got a ticket for a guided tour about two months in advance. I was concerned that seeing ‘The Last Supper’ would have all of the charm of seeing ‘The Mona Lisa’ at the Louvre. That is, none : seeing it is always a zoo and it’s hard to enjoy the work. At Santa Maria delle Grazie, our guide described the work and technique outside. Then we went in and had 15 minutes to savor the work, which is in a very large room, in peace and quiet. There’s a max of 35 people including guide and security in there at one time. It was well worth it.

Entrance free of charge. Stunning architecture. Really worth seeing.

Peaceful church near the painting "Last Supper". Felt the vibe of this church

Santa Maria delle Grazie - Holy Mary of Grace - is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The convent contains the mural of The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci. It’s considered one of Leonardo’s masterpieces and it well worth the visit when in Milan.
Pre-booked tickets are a must and it’s worth going on a guided tour as the history of the convent and the mural are fascinating - it’s really good having a guide talk through it and questions are encouraged. Access to the room is controlled so it’s never crowded as the room temperature needs to be maintained for the preservation of the mural.
Much if the convent was bombed during the Second World War but the refectory mural wall was heavily sandbagged and remained intact. A lot of restoration work has been done over the years, it’s truly fascinating.

Church where Leonardo painted the Last Supper. Entry to the church is free, however, to see the actual image you need to buy tickets for a museum that’s about 20m in front of the church.

It’s almost impossible to buy them on the spot. Most of the times they are sold for the upcoming 30 days. Your best bet is booking yourself online and planning your visit in advance.
