We decided to take a peek inside by chance, not knowing the whole church was adorned with colourful frescoes. The music added so much to the atmosphere, too. A must visit.

Glad this was part of our tour. Fantastic architecture, art work, and history. The story behind the martyred saints was most fascinating and quite bizzare by today's standards. Nevertheless, the visit was exceptionally educational. It gave me an deeper appreciation for the wonders of this great city. There's plenty more to see on our future trips.

Remarkable frescoes by Luini (father) cover most of the internal surface of this church which won the place the nickname of Milan's Sistine Chapel a 'tramezzo' wall separates the public part of the church from the area that was once reserved for the clergy. the wooden choir alone is certainly worth a visit. More frescoes here, by the Luini brothers...

The frescoes decorating this church are well-crafted, and the sheer number of decorations surrounds the viewer with images. The ceiling decoration of lacy panels is lovely. The panels on Noah's Ark are especially beguiling. But, with due respect, this work bears no comparison in terms of quality to Michelangelo (or Ghirlandaio, Botticelli, Perugino) in the Sistine Chapel. Enjoy this church...

If you look at the church from outside, you hardly even notice it: grey, simple, not attractive. BUt as soon as you get inside, you say "WOW!" It's fascinating, all the walls are painted with wonderful scenes by one of the most important painters of that time: Bernardino Luini. The church has been restored recently so colours are bright and...

3 reviews Not far from Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Last Supper you can visit the amazing San Maurizio Church. An impressive masterpiece like a previous small Sistin Chapel. Don't loose it.

Originally attached to the most important female convent of the Benedictines in the city, San Maurizio is now in use as an archaeological museum. The most important artwork of the church is the cycle of frescoes from the 16th century covering the walls. Don't miss it!

The interior decoration of the church is overwhelming. It is best to have a guide, and to take some time just sitting and drinking it in. A must see.
