Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie e Convento dei Domenicani con l'Ultima Cena di Leonardo da Vinci, Renaissance church and Dominican convent in Milan, Italy

The Santa Maria delle Grazie complex includes a church with a hemispherical dome, three cloisters, and a refectory containing Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper mural.

Count Gaspare Vimercati donated land to Dominican friars in 1459, leading to the construction of this religious complex under architect Guiniforte Solari until 1482.

The refectory wall displays Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, painted between 1495 and 1497, depicting Jesus announcing the betrayal to his disciples.

Visitors need advance reservations to see The Last Supper, as entry is limited to groups of 30 people for 15-minute viewing sessions.

Leonardo's experimental tempera technique on dry plaster, instead of traditional fresco, contributed to the continuous deterioration of The Last Supper through centuries.
