Your LivTours Milan Last Supper Tour with City Highlights & Duomo begins in front of Santa Maria delle Grazie, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose ceilings host frescoes and timeless religious artwork. Adjacent to Santa Maria delle Grazie is the Gothic style convent from the 1400s which houses one of the most revered paintings of the Italian Renaissance – Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper.
The Last Supper is known for its intricate detail and masterful precision and contains numerous layers of symbolism from religious to mathematical. Some say it is even known to hold a musical score in its composition. On your semi-private tour, you will have access to the viewing room of the Last Supper with only a handful of other tourists, giving you ample space to take in this awe-inspiring beauty.
After you have had time to absorb the beauty of The Last Supper, your local guide will continue the tour by visiting the San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore to admire the spectacular 16th century frescoes across the ceiling and walls. Painted by Bernardino Luini, Antonio Campi and Simone Peterzano, your guide will tell you about the life and death of Santa Caterina, whose stories inspired one of the chapels within the church and its gorgeous Luini frescoes. Often referred to as the Sistine Chapel of the north, this is a must see for art lovers.
Then it is off to the Piazza degli Affari, the financial district of this industrious city. The economic pulse of the city and country, Milan’s fame for being the financial center of the country gives the city its eclectic mix of fashion, finance and history. Learn about its beginnings that date back to Roman times when Emperor Augustus was ruler of the Roman Empire. Without a doubt you will experience a bit of shock as you get catapulted back into the present with Maurizio Cattelan’s controversial public sculpture called L.O.V.E. and also known to the Milanese as ‘Il Dito‘ (the middle finger).
Your Milan Walking Tour ends just in front of one of the most recognized landmarks of Milan, the elegant cathedral. Taking nearly 600 years to finish, the Duomo of Milan, is a Roman Catholic church and is the perfect example of Italian Gothic architecture. Set in the heart of the city center of Milan known as the city of Mediolanum during the Roman Empire. Your guide will tell you some of the highlights to see within the Duomo if you choose to later visit it on your own.
This semi-private Milan Walking Tour is a perfect comprehensive tour of this vibrant northern Italian city!
