To many, the interior of the church of San Maurizio is the most beautiful in Milan. Built in the early 1500s as the church for a convent of Benedictine nuns, the entire interior is covered in frescoes of biblical scenes. Not only are these by some of the best Lombard artists of the 16th century - principally Bernardino Luini and his sons - but the colors of the paintings are as vivid as if they'd been painted yesterday. The long nave is divided into two sections, the rear one reserved as the nuns' choir. The extensive monastery was built over the ruins of the Roman circus and portions of the Roman walls, all now part of the Civico Museo Archeologico (Archaeology Museum), where you can see these excavated remains of Roman Milan. Along with the ancient history of Milan, you'll find Greek, Etruscan, and Roman finds from elsewhere in Italy, including sculptures in stone and bronze. Particularly good are the third-century sculpture of Maximilian, a bronze head, and a female statue with folded drapes. Address: Corso Magenta 15, Milan - 2,5 km by foot or Tramway 12 or 14 from Via Bramante (3’ walk)

Maybe the most beautilul expression of Renaissance style painting in Milan, the walls and the vaults of the church being decoreted with frescos from the best interpreters of Lombardy school.

One of the most ancient (paleochristian), stunning churches in Milan, entirely covered with beautiful mosaics and frescos of Leonardo's school. It used to be a very large Benedectine female monastery.
