Create an itinerary including Il Cenacolo

One of the most famous paintings in the world, Leonardo da Vinci's Il Cenacolo is a 15th-century mural in the World Heritage-listed convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie. This painting is one of the most studied, scrutinized, and satirized works of art ever. It was created for the artist's patron, Ludovico Sforza, and represents the scene of the last supper attended by Jesus and all of his disciples, as told by the Gospel of John. The painting measures 460 cm by 880 cm (180 in by 350 in) and covers an end wall of the convent's dining hall. Though little of the original painting remains today, repeated restoration efforts have prevented the image from completely deteriorating. To see this masterpiece, you must book tickets ahead of time, often months in advance. Go online to explore guided tour options and see available time slots.

For me it's one of the most and fabulous art treasures in the world. I would easily compare this to completing a pilgrimage for art and history enthusiasts alike. I would say the feeling was like being one with the great master himself just to see the great fresco with my own eyes. We purchased our tickets through pre booking with a 3 hour walking tour. You can not do the walking tour if you choose not to. To see this masterpiece in person is definitely a bucket list item.

Definitely a must see in Milan and you can try to buy the tickets online although that option might be hard for last minute bookings. Alternative book tours via the normal websites and I would definitely recommend a guided tours. If the guide is good, you will learn a lot. You can only stay 15 minutes appreciating the last supper
