Visitors can take a guided tour up to 25 people at a time, every 15 minutes. The architecture of this church is exceptional and sometimes overlooked because of its content.
Pinacoteca di Brera

See on guided tour some of the most famous works in the world such as 'The Supper at Emmaus' by Caravaggio and the 'Dead Christ' by Mantegna, 'The Brera Altarpiece' by Piero Della Francesca and 'The Marriage of the Virgin' by Raphael.
Castello Sforzesco

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan is the so-called drawing room of Milan, that was built in the first half of the nineteenth century when the city was looking with envy on the urban evolution of the major European capitals and wanted to live up to them.

San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore
