Church and Dominican Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie with "The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci
"The refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie forms an integral part of this architectural complex, begun in Milan in 1463 and reworked at the end of the 15th century by Bramante. On the north wall is The Last Supper, the unrivalled masterpiece painted between 1495 and 1497 by Leonardo da Vinci, whose work was to herald a new era in the history of art."
Celebrate the cultural and historic offerings of Milan, including Leonardo da Vinci's magnificent The Last Supper.Begin with a scenic motor coach ride from the port to northern Italy's most fashionable city -- the magnificent Milan. Embark on a walking tour of the city center to the Piazza del Duomo -- a showcase square and home to the world's largest Gothic cathedral that is absolutely stunning in its scale and beauty.
You'll see the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II -- a gallery of shops and restaurants housed in a cross-shaped hall of dazzling proportion. Across the street is Piazza della Scala, whose centerpiece is the pretty and surprisingly petite La Scala Opera House.
At the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, you will have the rare and great privilege to behold The Last Supper -- one of the most iconic paintings in the world. Leonardo's impressive fresco (15 x 29 feet) is a puzzling and enigmatic work whose painstaking restoration took more than 22 years to complete. You will have some time to study it and contemplate its complex themes.
Conclude with an interesting ride back to the port.
Please note: You will have time to purchase lunch will be at your own expense in Milan. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
