Description:

Discover Milan’s historic and architecture treasures on this guided tour of the medieval Sforza Castle and see da Vinci’s world-renowned The Last Supper painting. Originally used as a military base, today the castle houses several museums and art collections.

Learn more about Sforza Castle’s history as you explore it from the outside. Commissioned by Francesco Sforza on the remains of a 14th-century fortification, the palace was built as a private residence of the Sforza family. In 1494 when Ludovico Sforza became duke of Milan, the fort turned into a majestic Renaissance court, and numerous artists were called to decorate its interiors, including the famous Leonardo da Vinci and Bramante.

Follow your guide through Milan’s busy streets as you make your way to the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, where the celebrated The Last Supper is located. Jump the line outside and enjoy the view of this stunning and fragile painting. Even if the artwork has suffered quite a few damages over the centuries, you can still appreciate Leonardo’s interpretation of the religious scene of Jesus announcing to his apostles that one of them would betray him.
