Seek out the Church of the Franciscans, a 13th-century Gothic church hiding a famous mosaic. Step inside to see the full-scale Last Supper reproduction and the stained glass windows.

📖

Full description

Also known as the Minoritenkirche, this Gothic church in the first district dates back to the early 14th century and is easy to reach near an underground station. Its most notable feature is a life-size early 19th-century mosaic reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, commissioned by Napoleon and made by Giacomo Raffaelli.

Reviewers also mention the stained glass windows and paintings. The church is not large, and opening hours are limited to morning and late afternoon, so timing matters.

A visit takes roughly 15 minutes.
