Home of Da Vinci’s Last Supper
Sophisticated Milan
Series 19
We arrived very early in the morning at the
the queue to the church is kilometric as it is
visited by more than 10,000 tourists s day.
Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, one of the most
celebrated and well known artworks in the world
was painted on the wall of the dining room of the
former Dominican
convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie.
Only 30 visitors per tour are allowed to spend a
maximum
of 15 minutes viewing to ensure that the room temperature
is maintained to protect the priceless fresco from
deterioration.

We were left with no choice but to admire

and convent are both UNESCO World Heritage Site,
