Visiting Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan offers a chance to experience the convergence of history, art, and spirituality.
While many are drawn to Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, The Last Supper, the church complex itself holds architectural and artistic treasures worth exploring.
Some parts of the complex are free to enter, while some have an entrance fee.
Church entrance
Entering the Santa Maria delle Grazie church is free for everyone during its opening hours. Visitors can marvel at the church’s architecture and artwork without paying an entrance fee.
