The most amazing place. Walked in said wow and burst into tears!! Stunningly beautiful. The lovely guide laughed and said so many people had that reaction. We’re not religious people but the beauty of the place is very spiritual. Another must of places to see in Milan. And it’s free!!

The exterior of this church is rather plain, and you would not know the true beauty of its interior unless you have done some research. However, the interior is spectacular. Dozens of beautiful paintings of Biblical events such as Noah’s Ark, etc. It is absolutely incredible inside, and I would definitely recommend you visit, as it is free to enter and not very busy when we went

On the advice of another reviewer we visited this gem of a church on a quiet Sunday morning as we were staying nearby. What a find - entrance is free but donations are welcomed. On the morning of our visit guided tours were available (again free) led by members of a local club. We had a charming elderly man who pointed out various images from the frescoes we might not have noticed - the ‘signature’ dog of one of the painters, St Agathe with her breasts in a plate (weird!), the significance of the animals in the Noah’s Ark fresco and the niche where the nuns of this very closed order received communion without being seen. It was really a delightful moment.

There are no words to express the beauty of the frescoes of this church, called the Sistine Chapel of Milan, as soon as you enter you are surrounded by a myriad of colors and amazing paintings. The church is a part of the oldest and largest female convent of the city built between the 8th and 9th century. The churc is divided into two distinct areas , the first hall, entered from the street , was where the faithful gathered; the second, connected to the rest of the convent, was reserved for the nuns and is occupied by a large 16th century wooden choir. The walls are decorated with one of the most important fresco cycles fro 16th century Lombardy, mainly by Bernardino Luini and his followers.
