The main reason most visitors come to this church is, without a doubt, Leonardo da Vinci’s mural The Last Supper, a masterpiece that has left countless unanswered questions and mysteries for researchers, artists, and mystery lovers alike.
Visiting the monks’ refectory to see the mural requires a reservation in advance, but even just arriving at the site offers the opportunity to explore a fascinating church, located slightly away from the city’s busy center.
Two years after its construction, the church became the mausoleum of the Sforza family, which is why many of the decorations are dedicated to them. Over the years, the church underwent numerous changes and renovations, with visible contrasts between different architectural periods—for example, the central nave in Gothic style and the apse in Renaissance style.
This is just one example. Many side chapels contain a wealth of frescoes and artistic treasures.
