Santa Maria delle Grazie is one of Milan’s most important Renaissance landmarks, a Dominican church built between 1463 and 1497 under Guiniforte Solari and later transformed by Donato Bramante, whose elegant apse and dome remain masterpieces of early Renaissance architecture. The complex is world‑renowned as the home of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, preserved in the former refectory and recognised by UNESCO as a site of outstanding cultural value. The church’s contrasting styles—Gothic in the nave and Renaissance in the choir—reflect Milan’s artistic transition at the end of the fifteenth century. Today, Santa Maria delle Grazie remains an active religious site and a place of global pilgrimage, where visitors encounter both spiritual heritage and one of history’s most influential works of art.
Milan Italy
Santa Maria delle Grazie is located at Piazza Santa Maria delle Grazie 2 in Milan’s Corso Magenta area, in the northwestern part of the historic center near the Conciliazione metro station on the M1 red line. Nearby are Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper mural in the adjacent refectory, the Casa degli Atellani with its Renaissance gardens and da Vinci’s vineyard just across the square, Sforza Castle a short walk to the north through Parco Sempione, Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio to the south, and the Monastero Maggiore archaeological museum along the way.
