Let’s visit San Maurizio church
Did you know the church of San Maurizio is known as the Sistine Chapel of Milano?
The Church of San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, can be found a few minutes walk from Castello Sforzesco or Duomo, in Corso Magenta.
Magnificent images of saints, martyrs and benefactors decorate the walls and ceilings entirely, in a decorative fresco cycle that takes the visitor through the evolution of Lombard painting in the 16th century.
The layout of this church is unique, as the single elongated rectangular nave is separated into two parts by a wall: the outer section was reserved to laymen while the enclosure was for the cloistered nuns to attend Holy Mass.
