S. Maria delle Grazie (Last Supper)

Cl31447Commissioned by Ludovico di Moro and designed by Guiniforte Solari, this building was intended as a mausoleum for the Sforzesco dynasty.. The adjoining Dominican convent's cloister and sacristy were later renovated by Bramante. The refectory walls are home to Leonardo da Vinci's(1452-1519) Last Supper. Bramante's façade is of particular interest . If you are in Milan you can't pass the opportunity to enjoy these one of a kind master works.
