Last Supper Tour

Last Supper Tour

Join a guided tour that takes you through the stunning Dominican church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, a 15th-century convent and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, in the 1490s, Leonardo da Vinci painted The Last Supper, a work commissioned by Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, known for his patronage of the arts.

This tour begins at the Santa Maria delle Grazie, an example of Renaissance architecture, and includes a visit to Bramante's Cloister, a peaceful and beautiful environment within the church. After that, you will admire Da Vinci's masterwork.

Having survived nearly 500 years of challenges, including bombardments during World War II and misguided conservation attempts in the 18th century, The Last Supper is now in a delicate condition. In 1556, just sixty years post-completion, it was deemed "ruined" by Leonardo's biographer, Giorgio Vasari.

Today, thanks to restoration efforts, some of its former glory has returned, but access to the original piece is highly restricted. The limited number of visits available makes experiencing Da Vinci's work a rare privilege. This reservation guarantees entry without having to wait in line, providing a unique opportunity to view one of art history's pivotal works.

Your tour is led by an expert guide who will share fascinating anecdotes about the painting's creation, preservation, significance, and history, ensuring a memorable experience.
