10 Reasons Why You Must Visit Da Vinci’s The Last Supper

1. The Last Supper, or Il Cenacolo, as it is called in Italian, is one of the best attractions on the Italian tourism circuit. So buy your Last Supper tickets now since only a small number of vistors are allowed access to the painting at a time.

2. Since it is painted on the wall of the Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, you'll have the chance to enter one of the world's UNESCO World Heritage sites, which dates back to the 15th century.

3. It is one of the most famous artist in the world's most famous masterpieces.

4. As a result of Da Vinci's artistic experimental mural painting techniques combined with years of neglect, the painting has already undergone many restorations. See it before it deteriorates beyond recognizability!

5. It depicts an important moment in religious history - the emotional moment of Jesus' declaration - which also marks the first communion service.

6. Decide for yourself about the debate surrounding the person sitting to the left of Jesus, from the observer's point-of-view, made famous by Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code. Is the Apostle John, or Mary Magdalene?

7. In contrast to the Mona Lisa, which is deceivingly tiny in real life, the true beauty of the painting, which measures 450 by 870 cm, cannot be properly appreciated unless viewed in person.

8. The Cenacolo is painted in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie. There is nothing more surreal than staring at the painting, while imagining the monks dining in its shadow, in the very place that you are standing.

9. While the scene has been recreated before, Leonardo's version is the first to show real people acting like real people.

10. It's arguably the greatest example of one point perspective ever demonstrated in a painting.
