Why The Last Supper is a Must-See Attraction

1. The Last Supper, or Il Cenacolo, as it is called in Italian, is one of the most popular things to do on the Milan tourism circuit. So buy your Last Supper tickets now to ensure you are able to see the painting and don’t miss out on this incredible experience.

2. Since it is painted on the wall of the Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan,you’ll get the chance to enter one of the world’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, which has existed since the 15th century.

3. It is one of the most famous artist in the world’s most famous masterpieces.

4. As a result of Da Vinci’s artistic experimental mural painting methods combined with years of neglect, the painting has already undergone several restorations. See it before it deteriorates beyond recognizability!

5. It depicts an important moment in religious history – Jesus’ last meal with his disciples – which also marks the first communion service.

6. Decide for yourself about the controversy surrounding the person sitting to Jesus’ right, made famous by Dan Brown’s novel The Da Vinci Code. Is the Apostle John, or Mary Magdalene?

7. Unlike the Mona Lisa, which is deceivingly tiny in real life, the true magnificence of the Last Supper, which measures 450 by 870 cm, cannot be properly appreciated unless experienced first-hand.

8. The Cenacolo is located in the dining area of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie. There is nothing more surreal than staring at the painting, while picturing the monks dining in its shadow, in the very place that you are standing.

9. While the scene has been painted before, Il Cenacolo is the first to show real people acting like real people.

10. It's arguably the greatest example of one point perspective ever used in a painting.
