★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An absolute hidden gem! Free entrance. Beautiful frescoes from floor to ceiling. There is a separated room, the 'hall of nuns' at the back with more stunning artworks.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This church is definitely a hidden gem to visit! It is totally free and I promise your eyes will be delighted, and probably won't know where to look, in front of the magnificence and the number of paintings all over the place. The church is separated in two rooms, one that used to be the public area, where every single inch of wall is painted, and one that used to be the hone of the nuns, and is more sober but still magnificent. It contains an organ, one of the rare painting representing god i have ever seen, and another last super fresco.
I really recommend the detour, it's definitely worth it!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You cannot come in Milan (IT) without see this wonderful and old church! Full of important paintings of the XVI century.
It's very near to another place you must visit: the archeological museum of the City.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This church is amazing! A masterpiece of the renaissance. One of its most brilliant artists is Bernardino Luini who was in contact with Leonardo da Vinci and inherited much of his influence.
It is open to the public for FREE (with the green pass) only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The wow effect when entering in this church is thanks to a recent restoration
All the volunteers are so kind and willing to tell you the secrets and stories behind the paintings. One of them told me that the Noe's Chest painting (you can find it in the second room, at the back) has 2 curiosities: 2 unicorns, and 3 dogs (one of them was the painter's dog!! hahahah).
(I love the renaissance period and I am researching much of its legacy in Milan city. To visit Milan through this lens, see airbnb experiences)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the great place which i visited in Italy and especially in Milan, when i was planning trip
To Milan i was told there is not a lot to see, but when got here i was shocked with beauty of the city, there ara a lot sightseeing here.
Now about this church, I accidentally found it when i with my friends walking in the streets and decided to go in, i was really amazed by the beauty of interior, so many paintings, so beautiful and interesting. So to cut a short, if you are in Milan you must go to this beautiful and interesting church.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A bit off the beaten path with few tourists, this church was was constructed in the 1500s. Originally a chapel in a convent, the church had evolved over time. Two interesting facets of this church that make it unique: it is divided in half, with one end for the cloistered nuns and the other for the others to both participate in church services; and the extensive and detailed frescos painted, describing the stories from the Bible as well as images of varied saints. Currently it is only open in the mornings on Fridays and the weekends. Green Pass/Vax card is rigorously checked at the entry.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful church. The visit is well organized allowing only a few people in at a time to avoid crowding, allowing each person the time to enjoy the frescoes. Our wait wasn't long and it was certainly rewarded with stunning frescoes from the 16th century.
