There are no words to express the beauty of the frescoes of this church, called the Sistine Chapel of Milan, as soon as you enter you are surrounded by a myriad of colors and amazing paintings.
The church is a part of the oldest and largest female convent of the city built between the 8th and 9th century.
The churc is divided into two distinct areas , the first hall, entered from the street , was where the faithful gathered; the second, connected to the rest of the convent, was reserved for the nuns and is occupied by a large 16th century wooden choir.
The walls are decorated with one of the most important fresco cycles fro 16th century Lombardy, mainly by Bernardino Luini and his followers.
