]]> Milan is a city of style, where you can witness beautiful fashion and outstanding art. The city also has some interesting churches worth visiting, here are three good examples:

San Bernardino alle Ossa

Just a few minutes’ walk from the famous Duomo is this small and unusual church. Truly a church like no other, this church is not for the faint of heart. It includes a “bone chapel” — a space adorned by many human bones and skulls. Eerie and interesting.

Santa Maria San Satiro

This confusing landmark is more than a church, but a piece of architectural visual deception. It was commissioned in 1472 from Donato Bramante who had to deal with the challenge of designing a magnificent church on a tiny piece of land. Bramante’s solution was to create visual illusions on the murals to make the church feel bigger once you walk in. A 15th Century innovator! 

San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore

Nicknamed “The Sistine Chapel of Milan”, this church is renowned for its beautiful frescoes and murals, including outstanding depictions of biblical scenes such as The Last Supper and Noah’s Ark. An interesting feature is a dividing wall separating the community section from the area dedicated to the nuns.
