Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan Overview
The Santa Maria delle Grazie is a church and Dominican Convent located in the Piazza di Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. It was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980. It boasts - the Last Supper (Il Cenacolo) by Leonardo da Vinci.
Da Vinci's Last Supper depicts the moment when Jesus announces to his disciples that one of them will betray him, resulting in a surge of trepidation among his apostles. It was painted between the years 1495 and 1498. It measures 460cm in height and 880cm in length and is displayed on the northern wall of the refectory. The rest of the church, especially the cloisters, is also worth checking out.
Across the Last Supper, on the left wall of the refectory, is another significant artwork, the Crucifixion, by the Milanese painter Donato Montorfano. The Chiostro Delle Rane, also called the Chiostro Piccolo, is also worth visiting inside the church. It has a gorgeous fountain with four bronze frogs spewing water at its centre.
