Take a tour of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. This lovely brick church and convent in Milan is a very remarkable spot. Santa Maria delle Grazie is a small 15th-century church created with predominantly circular designs. The architecture of this Dominican convent is an interesting mix of Gothic and Romanesque styles. The red of the bricks is contrasted by sections of white geometric panels around the church. No matter how beautiful Santa Maria delle Grazie is from the outside, it is what's inside that makes it truly famous. Leonardo da Vinci painted 'The Last Supper' on one of the refectory walls making the church a historical and cultural landmark Saved from bombing raids in WWII, the painting can still be seen by visitors today.
