What to See at Santa Maria delle Grazie

The complex holds far more than Leonardo’s famous mural — here are the highlights.

Leonardo's Last Supper painting

Leonardo’s Last Supper

Painted 1495–1498 on the north wall of the refectory. Only 35 visitors admitted every 15 minutes. One of the most important paintings in the world.

The church interior

The Church Interior

Solari’s Gothic nave from 1463 meets Bramante’s Renaissance apse and dome from 1492 — two architectural worlds in a single building. Free to enter.

Know more →
The Crucifixion by Montorfano

The Crucifixion by Montorfano

On the opposite wall of the refectory from the Last Supper. Almost every visitor ignores it. Montorfano’s 1495 fresco is vibrant, well-preserved, and remarkable.

Side chapels

The 14 Side Chapels

Each privately commissioned by a Milanese noble family. Several contain Gaudenzio Ferrari frescoes. Free to enter — most visitors walk straight past all 14.

Cloister of the Frogs

Cloister of the Frogs

A quiet Renaissance courtyard hidden behind the apse, named after four bronze frogs on its central fountain. Almost entirely unknown to tourists. Free to enter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about visiting Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Last Supper.

Book online in advance via the official museum website or through a guided tour operator. Timed slots are limited to 35 visitors every 15 minutes and sell out weeks to months ahead, especially April through October. Walk-up tickets are rarely available. Guided tour operators hold separate allocations and often have availability when the official site shows nothing.

Yes, for most visitors. With only 15 minutes in the room, a guide makes a significant difference — explaining Leonardo’s symbolism, the apostle identities, the perspective illusion, and the restoration history that would take much longer to absorb from a plaque. If you go without a guide, read our hidden details guide thoroughly before your slot.
