Liceo Scientifico Orsoline Di San Carlo, middle school in Milano in the province of Milano (Italy)
The Liceo Scientifico Orsoline di San Carlo is a secondary school in Milan focused on science and mathematics, alongside humanities subjects. It occupies a mid-19th-century building with a covered inner courtyard supported by columns, bright hallways, and classrooms spread across several floors.
The building dates to the mid-1800s and carries architectural features reminiscent of the style associated with Bramante. The school in its current form received official recognition in 2014, after the Ursuline Sisters had already been running educational activities on this site for many years.
The school is run by the Ursuline Sisters, a Catholic order with a long tradition in education. This origin shapes the daily life of the school and remains visible in its name and in the layout of its interior spaces.
The school sits in a calm part of Milan and can be reached easily on foot or by public transport. Visitors who want to see the exterior of the building will find the surrounding streets easy to walk through at any time of day.
The inner courtyard of the building has columns that closely resemble those of the cloister at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, where Leonardo's Last Supper is housed. This similarity is not by chance, as both structures belong to the same 15th and 16th-century Lombard architectural tradition.
