Description
Our tour starts in Santa Maria delle Grazie that is famous for “Cenacolo Vinciano” and it is part of Unesco Heritage List. The church hides a small cloister, a silent spot immersed in the green where you can relax admiring the beauty of the building. In front of the church you can find “Casa degli Atellani” with Leonardo Da Vinci's vineyard and Palazzo delle Stelline.
The next stop of the tour is a secret little garden that most Milanese don't know, where mums take their children to play. Not far from this place, there is another jewel: the Bramante's cloisters at Cattolica University. From there we will walk along old streets, discovering the ancient ruins and other traces of the Roman Empire and interesting stories like that of the ruins of a church, destroyed during the bombings of the Second World War, that was built to host a miraculous painting.
